I worked at Employco and saw Kathleen somewhat infrequently and especially less after COVID. Regardless, it makes me cry to think another light has left this world, and for those in which she was a part of their life, are feeling the dark left by the loss of that light. Losing someone close is not something you get over, I lost my mother a few years ago and the pain never leaves, its in there always and taints the rest of my years. My condolences to those in pain, I wanted whoever reads this who was close to her to know that an almost stranger is sad she is gone as well. I cannot watch the memorial video above because to me it just shows me what was lost, and hurts more. I hope this message makes someone feel better, because someone else cared.
