Dear Kay,
You were a wonderful Aunt, always there for me when I was growing up. We had many happy days going swimming at Oglebay and taking trips in the summer! I am so sorry that I can not be there for your memorial Mass, but I am living in Germany now. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I know that you are resting in peace now. David
Dear members of the Ryan Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Kathleen. Have never had the pleasure of meeting you. In reading the obiturary on Kathleen I found there was a common factor that caught my eye, and that she was a retiree of T & L Plumbing.
My Mother, who died in 1969, was also a retiree from T & L Plumbing.
Believe that would have about 1958, and she would probably had 20 plus years service. As can best recall at this time, Mother mentioned Kathleen’s name and I believe I may have been introduced to her when I went to pick Mother at her work.
Again my very deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Kathleen.
Francis Ross
