Herb, and family; I am so sorry for your loss. Kathleen was always very sweet and loving when I would see her. She always had a smile, and whether I saw her at family gatherings, summer parties or see her at a restaurant when she was having a meal with her beloved, Herb, it always made my day to talk to her and get a hug. I pray that she rests peacefully in the arms of Our Lord, with an eternity of Peace, Happiness and Grace. Amen.
Big Hugs and Love,

This seems like it was a spontaneous picture. Grandma has her "oooo" look because you had to sneak pictures of her sometimes. Your mom (my Aunt Kathy) always had the genuine, happy smile and I am so grateful to have seen her Thanksgiving AND Chistmas this year to see that smile some more. I also heard that smile was glowing the entire time at her renewal of her wedding vows just last Friday. What a gift and legacy in her smile. I will miss her calling me "Shelly".

We are sorry to hear about Mom's passing. It is ironic that she passed on
May 17th. That is the 100th anniversary of my Mom's ( Bob's grandmother) birth. I think they will be good friends. Love, Aunt Terry and Uncle Ben
