I was just making up my Christmas cards to sendAnd realize I couldn’t send you one this year. Thank you, Kathy, for welcoming me into your loving heart. You are sincerely the most kind and generous woman I have ever met.
So sorry to learn of the transitioning of dear Kathleen. We became acquainted through her mother’s relationship with my aunt Lillian L. Harris of Wells Street.. Over the years since auntie’s passing in 2005, we have corresponded. Kathleen was a strong women of God and a great encourager. Please accept our sincerest condolences, but rest in the knowledge that she touched many lives and will be truly missed. Looking forward to the great Resurrection Day where all believers who accepted the gift of Salvation will meet again. In the mean time, may all who knew and loved Kathleen be blessed and comforted by wonderful memories of her.
