Kathy was such a kind and generous woman. I loved working with her through Soundbridge events. She was always there and always supportive. 

Dear Guy and family, i am sending my deepest condolences to you, your family and so many loved ones.  Kathy was so very special to so many. She had a very special place in all our hearts. My heart is so heavy with her passing. Kathy is my friend. She alway took the time to reach out and cheer me on or give me a pull your boot straps  up and move forward talk. She was a very bright light in my and my childrens life. She always had a kind word and so generous.  She would  at many times wave me in to her office and close the door just to say how are you doing and of course offer some kind of snack or candy from her jar. Talk to me about the kids and ask me about how things were going.  She always knew my heart. We worked together for a very long time, from CVGSC to the present. But we were not just work friends. We were sisters. She wad a mentor, a sounding board, a confident. She was my cheerleader.  I remember the times she asked me to come visit at your home. She prepared a bit of food, a glass of wine and a heart to heart.  This meant the world to me. I struggled at times and she was there. And  Of course one time I left with a much needed Turkey. She always talked about her family . Her words filled with the air with such joy. The smile across her face gave you the warm glow. You felt her love
 Her love for all of you was unmatched. I am going to miss her so very much. I will keep her in my heart. My prayers are with you  and your children at this time of great loss. I know she fought the good fight and God took her home to rest. I am so grateful I was blessed to have known this very fine woman. Such a priceless gift given to us all. I send my deepest love to you. My God hold you in his loving merciful arms. 
Love always Valorie.  

Kathy will be missed so very much. She was such a warm and caring person with the greatest smile and laugh! It was an honor to call her my friend. May you be at peace and know you left such an indelible mark in the lives of so many. 

My sympathies to Kathy's family.   Kathy was one of the friendliest and most helpful and supportive people I worked with at GSOFCT.   She will be missed greatly there,  but more by her family I am certain.    Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory dear Kathy!!

Dear Guy and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Kathy's passing.  She was, as you all know, one of a kind!  
As a colleague she was always smiling, encouraging, and willing to share a hug.  Kathy always embraced change and was a wonderful work partner in striving to help  open doors to activities for our girls.  She went the extra mile to learn about indoor zip lining so that our girls and troops might take advantage of fun activities.  Her heart was big and generous as she did all she could to make sure our girls were safe but engaged...I am not sure how we can fill her shoes! 
My heart is broken that I will not be able to sit next to her again in a meeting to hear stories and see photos of the grand babies....she was a proud grandma, mother, and wife.  My prayer for you all is that the many memories of times together bring you comfort, laughter, and warmth during this difficult time.

Dear Guy and Family:
Girl Scouts of Connecticut is losing an angel.  Kathy's smile, warmth and positive energy brightened up every day for us. It is surreal and very painful to know we will not have her with us in this world, but we also know she is brightening up the heavens with her love and her nurturing spirit.  There are no words to express how sad and difficult this must be for all of you.  We hope that when the world returns to some semblance of normalcy, we will be able to honor her properly.  Please know you are all in our hearts and prayers as you face this profound loss.  Mary Barneby, Girl Scouts of Connecticut

Dear Guy, Christina and Tom and all family members.  I have been remembering the great times I had the privilege to share with beloved Kathy and you.  As others have noted in their condolences, Kathy truly brought love and joy to others.  What a magnetic and wonderful person.  I'll always remember the weddings, the trip to Vegas, the warm hospitality on Yale Street.  Guy, Chrissy, Tommy,  I'm so sorry and I send my love and condolences.  Rest in peace, dear Kathy.

Kathy was a kind and loving person. In all of my years as a Girl Scout she was always so supportive. Losing her is heart breaking. My prayers go out to her family. RIP my friend until we meet again.

Kathy was a loving and kind women. I always enjoyed visiting Chrissy when her mom as around. Kathy was just full of life. One of my favorite memories of her was at the gender reveal. She was soo excited to discover the gender of her grand-baby!  Chrissy, I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prays are with you and the family during this difficult time.

Kathy was always a special person in my Girl Scout world.  Her office door was always open to talk and to share good times as well as difficulties.  We had many great times outside of the GS world also.  She always had an encouraging word, a great smile, and a positive outlook on life.  I will miss her dearly.

Kathy was truly the kindest and most giving person I’ve known.  She cared so much about so many and was always willing to give of herself to all.  I am honored to have called her my friend and will miss her contagious laugh.  Rest In Peace my friend.  Your too short life made this world a better place for so many. 

Kathy brought pure joy to anyone who got to share any time with her. I was one of those lucky people . She loved her family so deeply ...like no other . Kathy will be deeply missed . Until we meet again my friend 🙏🏻🍀😇

Kathy was the most positive person I knew.  She loved hard with all of her being and you knew that if you were her friend.  My heart will forever have a missing piece but she has taught me so much. I only hope I can measure up to a small portion of her loving generosity and carry it forward in her honor.  Cookie swaps will never be the same but Guy will always have a special delivery ❤
