I am so glad I was able to meet "Kathleen's mom" when she visited Kentucky. Dinner parties were always better if Colleen and Kathleen were in the house.

We will miss her. We enjoyed being around her. She was fun to be with. She had a great sense of humor and was a gutsy lady. I hope you all can find some peace in her passing.

Colleen and I had a good visit just a couple of weeks ago. She looked so pretty, but said she was not having a good day. I have fond memories of playing Bridge with her. She will be missed.
