  1. My sincere sympathies to you all. Kathryn was a great Lady!!! I bowled in a league with her many years ago. She was a great teacher when I took over the St. Mary’s Bingo Program Books from her. She could not have been more willing and helpful to me. 🙂 May she rest in peace!!!

  2. I am so very sorry for your loss! I wrote Kathryn frequently and had hoped to visit her when we come to Port in July. Much love and sending prayers for her journey. My parents, and all who went before, will be there waiting for her with open arms.🙏. ❤️ Peace and love,
