Thanks for being such a great partner for my dad. You were so kind to my brother and I from the moment you entered our lives. We shared a ton of laughs together, including our great times in Chicago on St. Patrick’s Day! Great memories. Rest in peace.
Wishing Artie, Kelly, and Kerissa the best during this difficult time.
RIP Kathy and I will never forget how kind, thoughtful, and welcoming you always were to me. I have a few of your shared recipes that always remind me of you! I know you will certainly be missed and are in a much better place now.
