Mrs. Rina Maslow wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest condolences to Kathy’s family. I first met Kathy and Bob on a beautiful Good Shepherd Parish trip to Israel in 2010. It was a unique experience and we bonded. It was always a pleasure to see Kathy and Bob in church and reminisce. I also participated in Bible studies where Kathy led the group. She was a quietly spiritual and faithful person always ready to help anyone in need. She will be remembered for her smile and her kindness. The Good Shepherd community will miss Kathy greatly.”
