We worked together for over twenty years. I never knew Kathleen to be anything less than devoted to serving the staff, faculty,and student body of the Army War College. I will miss her of course. But I will always be glad to have known her and honored to have served the AWC, the Army, and the Nation along side her.

I have been fortunate enough to work with Kathleen for the past 2 years.  I always enjoyed a chat, a laugh, and a good dose of sarcasm first thing in the morning when she stopped by for her first cup of coffee.  She will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

As a gate guard at Carlisle Barracks, I spoke to Kathleen two or three times weekly.  She was always pleasant and fun to speak with, and I looked forward to seeing her during her walking commutes back and forth to work.  I'll miss her smile, she was one of the kindest people I've known.

I have knew Kathleen for the past 8 years.  She was always kind and helpful to me when I was first learning about copyright, and always helpful to everyone.  I have missed seeing her around the building and will miss her now.  She use to tell me stories about her cat.  
My deepest condolences to her family at this time.

Kathleen and I go back many many years, the whole time she was at Carlisle Barracks.  During that time, I have never known her to be anything but a wonderful friend, hard worker, and honest and upfront human being.  It goes without saying that I am so incredibly saddened by her loss, and I will her.

I served with Kathleen for over 10 years at the Army War College, and I've truly missed seeing her lately and feel a deep sadness at her passing.  I enjoyed talking with Kathleen during breaks on the college patio or around campus.   I'll especially miss her quick wit and humor and I'm very sorry for your loss.  May God send his blessings to you during this difficult time.    Sincerely,  Julie Manta

Kathleen and I worked together in the Army War College library, our working relationship became a friendship. After I left the library our friendship continued. I remember numerous occasions she would come into my office, we chattered about nothing really just two friends catching up on our lives. I have many warm memories of Kathleen, our talks, joking around, her wit and sense of humor will be remembered.  To her family, my deepest sympathy, may your sorrow be eased with loving memories.  Kathleen is missed by many, peace to you all.
