Aunt Kathy was such a beautiful soul. I have fond memories of the times my sister and I spent with her during our summer visits to the city. She had the softest voice and most gentle manner with all of the cousins as we ran around and played practical jokes from the eigth floor windows. Aunt Kathy always brought home fresh fruits and vegtables from the market. She was ahead of her time when it came to eating healthy and organic. Her tomato sandwiches were my favorite. I especially enjoyed walking to the park with her and Muffin as well as playing with all the kitties that she so loved. Later in life, we had a very memorable time visiting all of the places that were so special to her on The Upper West Side. She introduced me to the peacocks that live behind a The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. We walked Central Park to the Bramble and sat quietly observing the birds.That was a wonderful day with family and I will forever hold it close in my heart. We ended the evening celebrating her 80th birthday at V & T, a classic restaurant in New York's Morningside Heights where we had many family meals. Aunt Kathy will be missed by many, but her kind spirit will always be with us especially when I see a cardinal.
