I never got to meet Kathryn but have come to know Sean over the past couple of years. I’m sure she was a great woman and a loving mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.
So sorry for your loss. I have worked with Kathryn for about 5 years. Although I never met Kathryn in person, I have had many telephone conversations.
She was a terrific person to work with, a caring person and a loving mother.
She will be missed.

I was so saddened to hear of Kathryn’s passing. I have had the pleasure of working with Kathryn for the last year and a half, and looked forward to her upcoming return to our team. I just returned to the US from being away, and missed speaking with you directly yesterday. Please know I was thinking of you and your family.
Kathryn always had the biggest smile when she talked about Jack and Claire, and was so excited about Will joining the family. If there is anything I can do to help during this time, please let me know.
Kathryn will be missed by all. My thoughts are with you and your family.
