Carl and Family, My sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy go out to you in the loss of our precious Kathleen. May God wrap his loving arms around you, and bring you strength, courage, comfort, and that peace that passes all understanding as you begin the adjustment of your life on earth without Kathleen. I'm positive that when she reached those pearly gates, God welcomed her with open arms and these words "Well done my good and faithful servant". Rest assured there is one heck of a reunion going on in heaven right now, and that you will be together again some day. I have so many precious and fun memories growing up, double dating, being silly, and being serious. She always reminded me that I was the one who introduced her to Carl, and the rest is history. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend 'til we meet again........

Kathleen was a long time friend of mine. I spent many hours visiting their home as I was best friends with her sister Ann. She was always so nice and so pleasant even as a young lady. Later in life we were next door neighbors and although we didnt keep in touch, as the years past, she will be a dear friend whom I will miss. God bless you as her family.
Kathleen was one of a kind and I mean that in a good way. Kathleen and Noreen are the only friends I have kept in touch with since those grade school/high school/college days.
Kathleen was fun and funny and also had a serious, deeply spiritual side. She saw the good in people and could ignore those traits which others considered negative. I aspire to be more like that.
Such fun memories of her standing off to the side laughing as Noreen and I were creating havoc.
It was wonderful to see all of this “old” pictures, her beautiful Mother and gentle and kind father, in that warm and welcoming home where I spent so much time as I was growing up. My other home. My thanks to her family who tolerated my spending so much time in your home.
All of the pictures were perfect, she and Carl and all of their “children” and grandchildren. She was SO proud of all of you. When we spoke on the phone or in person, she always told me the latest which was happening with all of you.
Seeing the pictures of her siblings together brought tears - only some of many.
I love you Kathleen, and miss you,
Theresa Mitchell Cosden
Our Wonderful Sister In Law Kathleen, We will miss Your smiles and all the joy You brought to Our family, We will always keep You in Our heart, May God Bless Your family,

For years and years Kathleen would sit in pews in front of us at the catholic church in Miami. We always looked forward to seeing her and her pretty smiling face.
She is in Heaven now.
