Kathleen or "Kathy" dedicated her life to making new Best Friends.  Everyone she met was better for having known her.  She was a collector of many things: people's names that she liked, music on her iPod and poetry books. In her free time you would find Kathy coloring in her many coloring books or watching her soap operas.  While she enjoyed playing find-the-word puzzles, life was never a puzzle for her, she simply liked everyone.
