In loving memory of Kathy, whose vibrant spirit lit up every room she entered. Her infectious laughter and unwavering positivity were beacons of light. Reflecting on our fun moments together, I fondly recall our few days at Hampton Beach and our laughter-filled girls' night out at Outback Steakhouse. Kathy's presence enriched my life, leaving an special mark on my heart. To her family, may you find solace in the love and memories shared, and know that Kathy's warmth and kindness will forever be remembered. Sending heartfelt condolences and love to you all.

I graduated with Kathy. I also worked at City Hall when she was there. Although we both had financial jobs there and were on different floors, we would check up on each other when we could. My prayers and condolences to her family.
