Kathleen was my colleague and friend.
She was a wealth of knowledge. I am grateful that she always shared! When she retired she also shared wonderful ideas and plans. I am saddened that she was unable to enjoy them with her family! Miss you Kathleen!
I was honored to know Kathleen as a fellow classmate at Western Washington State Colllege (University by the time we finished). I think back on our time there and knowing her after. The word I use to describe her is: saint. It's too bad I'm not there to celebrate her life!
