Kathleen was such a light not just in my life, but for my family. She lived life and I have been blessed. We first met at Southpoint Walmart. She transfered from tge Charlottesville store where she was the lead CSM. She had beautiful Red hair which I fave her the 1 nickname of "RED". She was also from New York snd when her accent came out her other nickname was "Hey New Yorker". That is how our friendship began. As time went on and Kathleen in 2010 was diagnosed with Bone cancer she never gave in even despite the pain which started in her right arm. Found out later the bone was just about gone and they had to put a rod in to replace the bone. She beat the cancer too. Then in Jan. 2015 she found out she had Leukemia that was more common in children. Kathleen was always a kid at heart. It was that time though where the seed was planted for my son, TJ to pursue his career as a nurse. He is now in nursing school and when he graduates it will be in her Honor!! Ur light will shine and live on forever. I love u and miss u! God has truly healed u now. Loads of LOVE,Gloria, Larry and TJ!💕♥️❣️♥️😘😘😘✝️️✝️️✝️️
Kathleen so Loved Teresa and Arthur (knucklehead-no offense). We got to see Cher, Donnie and Marie and Journey. All in Vegas. The cruise to the Caribbean not only had us swimming with dolphins but a horseback ride through the jungle on Belize. I’ll miss calling/texting her for our next excursion. Love love Kathleen.
