Dear Herb, My prayers for you are sent. Kathy was a precious gift of love, cheer and laughter to Jon and me. She shared everything, she gave unconditionally to all she met and knew. I feel so privileged that God let me know her and you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand during this most difficult time. Andrea

I am so sorry for the loss of my special friend. I will always remember Kathy and the fun times we shared together. Kathy loved flowers and one of our favorite places was the Miller Nature Preserve in Avon. We loved lunching outside with the beautiful gardens, the sound of running water and walking through the butterfly house. Kathy and I also shared a love for animals. She was very knowledgeable on animal behavior. And she loved Chinese food. I will miss this beautiful lady.

Hi Herb, So sorry for your loss. What a lovely lady with a wonderful life with everyone she knew and especially you. We live in Panama City, Florida now so cannot come up to express our sympathy personally, but it is heartfelt nonetheless. Our love of animals is the same and we will make a donation in Kathys name to the ASPCA? Your friend, Arnie Olecki & Beverly.
