Kathleen, Rest in peace. Time flys and we never made plans to have lunch together. I was stunned when I pulled the Obits up and there you were. Hard to believe. Always enjoyed our visits when we worked at Steinhafels. You were always a happy positive person. We had lots of giggles and chuckles when talking. I know you will be missed!
