I worked with Kathy at CIBC since 1977 and kept in touch with her when we all left in 1991. We talked about our pets and friends at CIBC who we kept in touch with. When I did not get a Christmas Card something always tells me to check the obits and I saw this today and was saddened. Will miss our talks on our pets. You, Ed Heaney, and Julie taught me alot when I started at CIBC, I was only 17 at the time and am greatful for your frienships. Look for them in heaven.

I worked with Kathy for many years at Canadian Bank and she taught me everything she possibly could. We had a lot of fun too. Although I had not seen her for a very long time I will always remember her and how much knowledge she so willingly gave me. You will be sorely missed & so pleasantly remembered. Rest in peace Kathy.

Kathy,
where do I begin, since 1966 we have been friends.In l968 we started work together at CIBC in NY. we took trips together and just enjoyed each other's company and sense of humour. In l976 when Jim and I got married your brother Joe gave me away and you were my maid of honor. On our many trips to poughkeepsi to spend weekends with edna I think we played matchmakers for her and your dad. we did go our separate ways, you to SC me to Canada. but we alays kept in touch. sadly our last planned visit together in Florida in January did not come about. God felt that it was time for you to visit him, and you went gladly and peacefully. We know that you will meet up with Joe and Edna and when you do, sit and talk about us all down here. Then take a sip of a large Manhattan and smile. God Bless and know that you will always be loved and remembered. your friends always
Jim and Trudi
