Carol, Gayle, and Craig: I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mother was such a nice person. She was a friend of my mother Frieda Kepper. Your mother was an Icon at Trinity. I’ll miss her. With heartfelt sympathy
I was very sorry to hear of Kathryn’s passing. We worked together for many years with the SHARE food program. She was a very special lady.
Carol, Gayle, Craig, and families, we were so sorry to hear about your mother. She and Gayle were so welcoming to us when we moved to Argyle Road in 1976 and she was a good friend from then on. She will be greatly missed in this neighborhood. We will keep you all in our prayers.
Craig, I am so sorry for you. My condolences. John
