Condolence: Kathy, you were gone way way too soon. Missing that big smile, huge laugh and mischevious grin. I don't think she realized how many peoples' lives she touched. There was a quiet strength about her. She was never one to toot her own horn, instead she put the focus and attention on whomever she was with and made them feel that she cared about what they had to say, like they were the only one in the world,she had a gift making you feel at ease. Kathy wore a lot of hats, but the ones she wore as a Mom and Grandparent seemed to give her the most joy.Her heart was as big and generous as anyone I know. I had the pleasure of her company along with Marc and Joann and her girls and family and Dana on trips and get togethers, holidays etc.. I love that she took pride at times in being a GEEK! Loved her to pieces. My heart goes out especially to Jackie and Leeann, but I know you two treasure all the good times and talks you had with your MOM and those memories are forever. MUCH LOVE, I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life.

Condolence: Mike and I were so sorry to hear of Kathy 's passing. While I hadn't seen Kathy in a very long time, I thought of her often. We met at Aetna - both working in the SAFARI Homeowners area. We had a small-world coincidence involving where she lived in Cheshire, we did things together after work, we teamed up for happy and sad things at work. One of the last times I saw Kathy was when we were both driving to work and we were side-by-side on the exit ramp. Oh, how I wish that I had known that she was working at HSB - I went there many times for lunch and could have met up with her!
Our heart-felt condolences to the entire family.
Warn regards, Ruth Sigal

Condolence From: Marc Pompa
Condolence: Everything in life, in the world, captured Kathy’s interest. She was a Renaissance person living in the modern world. A child of the 60’s, she lived her life embracing the idealism that sprang from that era. She was a lover of math and of music. Of science fiction and romance novels. Of computers and the theater. Of the New York Giants and Stephen Hawking. Both a Girl Scout leader and an H&R tax accountant (just because it’d be “fun”). Of travel, and learning, and experiencing life.
This was the Kathy whom we saw on the outside. On the inside, was a deep spiritual base. She early in life identified with the culture of the North American Indians. Their belief was that everything in the world was sacred, each rock, each plant, every living creature. That everything here in this physical world was to be respected. And that’s how Kathy viewed the world and lived her life as well as she could in accord with those ideals.
But there was a part of her inner being, a trait, which took years of reflection by me before it finally resonated with me as being real, and pure, and true. She believed in people. She believed that each of us had the potential to do great things, be good people, and make the world a better place.
And each of us whom had the good fortune of knowing Kathy experienced her belief in us. When others didn’t. When we didn’t. She did.
I’ll miss your smile, and your laugh, and will never be able to thank you enough for being Leeann and Jackie’s mom. Love, Marc

Condolence: "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." -Washington Irving
Mom, it will be difficult to find the light again and peace in my heart without you. But do not worry, you taught me well, through your quiet strength, how to persevere. I would give anything to see your warm smile or hear your infectious laugh, I truly miss you.
You always had a key chain fob that read "Darn, I'm good" I'd have to agree! You truly were amazing and its so touching to see everyone's heartwarming sentiments. You were loved dearly, by me and everyone who knew you. I'd like to sincerely thank all who have reached out, showed support, and spoken such lovely words.
