"This response is so late. It is not the same without Mom. She liked you dearly. Thank you for your kind words."

"Uncle Jack, John, Patricia, AnnMarie Gosh, I don't know what to say. I was just thinking of your family and googledAunt Kay in hopes of finding her and Uncle Jack's address. I had lost Aunt Kay's address and missed the last couple of Christmas'. I always looked forward to hear from her and to trade stories. She always talked about my mom and dad and it was so good to hear stories about them from her. She was quite a woman. She must be the kindest, most selfless woman I have ever had the pleasure to know. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please contact me. My love goes out to all of you. Janine"

"Oh Mike, Such a beautiful tribute to my Mom, tears are streaming down each time I read your message. John's friends often became our family's friends because John recognized and valued quality as he did in you. So many years ago, you graced our family, and I have never met such a gentleman as yourself. My Mom loved you, and as a mother she always liked taking care of people, I believe she viewed you as a son and enjoyed when you joined us for dinner. But God, we were a noisy bunch of New Yorkers talking over each other prompting you to say "sorry" with your impeccable manners, when in fact, an apology was owed to you. We laughed quite a bit; you found it quite comical when Mom bought Kermit the frog for Ann & I. I saw him the other day but this time, only tears. It is true, she had compassion for things more sensitive and in need of care, and as the baby of the family, I loved it. Thank you for making and sharing those memories with us that we all will hold dearly until we join her in eternity. BLESSINGS TO YOU!"

"Dear Pat, Thank you for your kind expression of sympathy, As well for the lovely plant to which I will lovingly tend. My Mom always enjoyed hearing from you. So nice to hear how my Mom was a prayer support for many. She liked to say her rosary nightly with a devotion for those who were ill. She had her rosary with her the last night, and I believe she was escorted home by the Blessed Mother as she asked if I saw her appearing before us. I will grieve her every day, but know she will be waiting for us when it's our time. Thank you for your kindness and support."

"Dear Paul and Family, Thank you for the beautiful message. I do remember the time(s) you visited us. I believe my sister was nagging you and you nicknamed her "Little Old Lady". We still laugh about that today! My Mom also told us the same that your Dear Mom was like an older sister to her. My Mom was so devastated with the passing of your Mom. Even though I was only about 7 years old, her grief was so deep, I could feel it. You lost your Mom at such a young age, and I know my Mom had a special place in her heart for all of you, because of this. They say there is a welcoming wagon in heaven, I am sure your folks and wonderful Aunt Marianna were right in front. Again, we all send our appreciation for your love and support. Hopefully, we can get together soon, before too much more time passes."

"Dear Peter and family, Thank you for taking time to express your condolences and kind words about Mom. Also, Thank you for the beautiful floral cross arrangement. Sorry for this late response. Trying to get back into the swing of life. Gosh, I miss her ever so much, but I have to be grateful for the many years she had on this earth, and I know she is with your Dear Mom, your Dad, and Aunt, all of whom she loved so very much. She would be celebrating 91 years on March 23rd, but God knew she was so weak and fragile. This past year was tough for her, and she would cry lamenting how so many were gone and always noting the loss of your Mom. I think she wanted to go home. Love to all."

"I was out of town and missed saying goodbye to Kay. Kay was part of our wonderful team and was an inspiration to me. I enjoyed our conversations over the past 30 years and called on Kay at times to include family members in her rosary and prayers. I believe these prayers were answered for my sister in law who was diagnosed with a terminal cancer only to find out six weeks later the diagnosis was incorrect. Calling Kay over the years was a light in my day. The last time I saw her was a few years ago on Hayden Road, our vehicles were side by side and I looked over at Kay. She pulled her pocketbook tight against her in concern. I called her and we had a great laugh. I consider Kay a wonderful colleague and friend. Kay is now in my prayers. God Bless."

"Motherly, sweet and thoroughly welcoming, John's (Ann Marie's and Patricia's) MOM, as I used to call her, was blessed with love and compassion: attributes that I saw and recognized immediately the very first time I met with her and her dear husband and two daughters at their home in Scottsdale in 1981. John, was a graduate colleague at ASU who barely knew me, but was so friendly to a fault and invited me to dinner at his parent's home. That is how I met his mother, Kay, and never forgot her ever again. She will be dearly missed and remembered by all of us who knew her well. Though she is no longer with us, she leaves her legacy in her dear children and husband. I am honored and proud to be their friend, and through them I will always see a glimmer of their mother, Kay. There is no doubt, whatsoever, that she is looking down at us from Heaven with an endearing SMILE. Rest In Peace, Kay!"

"Jack,Ann Marie, John, and Patricia I am very sorry for your loss. As John's mother in-law I received many kindnesses through the years from Jack and Kay. Kay has always been my prayer support in times of family illness. Kay's passing leaves an empty spot in our hearts. My prayers are with each of you. Love Pat Hiser"

"Oh Mom, The light in my life has dimmed and heaven's light is shining brighter. You and I were most alike, and I have lost my buddy. Not a day will go by that I will not grieve for you. You were relentless in your care: I will miss our 2 even sometimes 3 phone calls per day, the multiple messages on my phone with the concern in your voice when you could not get hold of me, the Sunday dinners when you would send Andy and I home with leftovers for another meal, to the beautiful bows with which you so lovingly adorned our Christmas packages. Who will ever love me this way again?? We hit the jackpot when God entrusted his 3 children with you. Though my heart will never be completely whole again, God's timing is always perfect. He knew you had endured enough, so weak and fragile, he took you home lovingly in his arms. We will take care of Dad until he is safely back in your care. Please stretch your arms down from heaven around me, because I will so miss your hugs. and you know that I still need to feel your touch and reassurance. I love you, I love you, and I will look forward to the day when I will join you in eternity. Love forever, Your Baby"

"Jack, John, Patricia Ann Marie, my deepest symphony to you all. I remember when you invited me down to Long Island when I was 11 years old back in 1966 and we went to Jones Beach and saw Guy Lombardo. My mother told me that Kathleen was like a younger sister in our big Irish family and to this day 50 years later I remember fondly the time I spent with you. There is a special place in heaven for your mother and I am sure she is smiling as she looks down n you. Paul, Lee, Billy, Dennis and Ryan Houlihan"

"Jack, John, Patricia and Ann Marie, I'm so sorry for your lose. Your mom/wife was a very special person. She always made me feel as though I was a very important person. She was always caring for people and cooking. She made sure that everyone was taken care of. She would laugh even when she was in pain. She was a very warm welcoming person. I will miss her very much. Take care and many Prayers, Rachel."

"Mr. Donohue, John, Patricia and Ann: We are very sad to hear about the passing of your mother. We first met her at Red Devil Pizza for her son, John's, 40th birthday party. She was so nice and left the impression that her family was the center of her life. Through the years this proved to be true and we discovered that she (and Mr. Donohue) were kind and generous people; we were often the recipients of this generosity. Our prayers are with family during this time of grief. God Bless You, Rod and Myra Westenbarger"

"Jack, John, Patricia, Ann Marie I was so sad to here about the passing of Kathleen. She was always so kind and thoughtful to all of us Houlihans. I know she meant so much to my mother, Aunt Marianna and my dad. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. God Bless Peter, Michelle, Madison, Tommy."
