Dear Mark and Family, I am so saddened to learn this evening of Kathy's passing. Viewing the lovely video showed me what a wonderful life she had attending St. Francis Xavier and Woodlands, being a great teacher to young children and nurturing her own family. I know her spirit will still be watching over all of you.

  I met and knew Kathleen through the SBDC satellite office in Schaumburg.  She would come to do our audits and became a friend and lunch partner when visiting.  Ursula Digman, Kathleen and I would cherish those times and look forward to hearing stories of her children and grandchildren which she adored.  She has gone through health issues that have slowed her down but her sense of humor was intact.  I was happy to attend a small gathering we had for her when she retired.  I wasn't able to attend the wake but did make it to church today for the mass, however late.  The eulogies were right on and heartfelt.  My deepest sympathy to her husband, and family for your loss.  I pray in time your sadness will become much Joy in all the memories you have of the time you shared in this life.  God bless you all!  Thank you Kathleen for the memories you gave me, Peace be with you!!!

Sending my condolences to the Bishop family.

Missing you so much.  Doing my best to take care of your amazing family. XO

I enjoyed working with Kathleen through her work with the SBDC Network. She always provided the right answer and words of encouragement when I needed it most.

So very sorry for your loss.  I knew Kathleen through the state network.  She was a great lady!

I was so honored to work side-by-side with Kathy preparing her second grade children to receive First Eucharist  at St Martha for 5 years. Her spirit and generosity and smile will remain a treasured memory. Peace and blessings to Mark and the whole family.

My condolences to the entire family.  I was privileged to work with Kathleen at the state and enjoyed our time together.  She always had a smile on her face and a very calming disposition.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Kathleen for seven years. She was a kind and thoughtful person.  Kathleen always maintained an extremely positive attitude. She will be missed by all.

So very sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family.

So sorry for your lost.  My deepest sympathy to the entire Bishop Family.  Kathleen was a fun-loving co-worker and mentor.

God Bless

Kathleen was a co-worker and dear friend.  She had a generous heart, a giving nature and an easy smile.  I will miss her.  My deep condolences to Mark and the rest of the family.  She was a great lady.

Kathy was both of my sons'  second grade teacher at St. Joe's just before it closed.  My son, Bob, was in the last First Communion class with her.  He was in the hospital for a week and Kathy came to visit him.  I am thankful both my boys had her for their teacher.  May God give you strength and peace during this difficult time.
