  2. I met Kathy in March of 2019, when I attend the grief group at Caring Dimension in Danvers. Through the grief that we all were experiencing at the time brought just a wonderful friendship. Kathy’s extraordinary sense of humor brought laughter in some difficult times. Our group will not be the same without you, and your friendship will truly be missed. Rest easy Kathy and now you are with Greg again.

  3. I have known Kathy for about six years. She was a lively, interested, humorous, engaging, and lovely women who brought so much to our class, Yoga for Living with Loss. She leaves her shining light and a beautiful memory…and she will-be deeply missed.

  4. Kathy and her sister Sue were roomates of mine when we attended Salem State. Kathy was one of the most persuasive people I’ve ever met, something I both loved and feared about her as she often talked me into some whacky adventures. My favorite memory is when she talked me into taking a bus to Rhode Island after school one day to get tatoos (they were not legal in MA back in the day). We got our tatoos and had to hitchhike home as it was late and the buses no longer were running. This was in the days before everyone had tatoos and I felt like such a badass. RIP Kathy. Thanks for the memories.

  5. What a wonderful tribute video to Kathy. It was nice to see her “grow up” through the years before I knew her. She had an amazing life and now she is with her Greg again. Though I only met Kathy a few years ago, we became close. She brought such joy and light to my life. I will miss her.
    My condolences.
