Kathy was a lifelong friend to my sister Marg and The Day Family. She was full of life and kindness with such twinkling blue eyes. An Irish beauty inside and out. May she rest in peace. In sympathy, Mary Anne Day Dean

Dear Family & Friends, I am so deeply sorry to hear abou your loss. We all want spend our lives with the ones we love and death gets in the way of that. Kathryn will be missed, but not forgotten because Jesus said at John 5:28,29 that there will be a resurrection. This means that Kathryn will be given a fresh new start with the prospect of living forever without death anymore (Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:3,4). I hope that these promises found in the Bible will bring comfort to all of you diring this difficult time. Again I am so sorry for you loss and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lauren, Kara, John & Kevin - there are so many fun memories of our summers together. Our Mom's making us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to bring to the beach, along with a big thermos of sweetened Lipton ice tea. You guys always had the best cookies too...think they were called Hydrox? One of you guys was always getting in trouble for something. Kara and I relegated to shucking corn on the back deck. My Dad doing that silly cheer and Lauren getting frustrated because my Dad kept changing it. Always lots of laughs with the O'Brien clan. Thank you to your beautiful Mom for making that happen. I love you guys and I love your Mom. Love, Dawn

Lauren, Kara, John & Kevin- Your Mom was very special to me. She was much more than just my GodMother. I so enjoyed my regular visits to NJ as an adult, staying up late and chatting with Kathy. I think she was the original Chatty Kathy.... I shared with Kara that I am with my Mom in FL. We are celebrating your Mom's memory together. I love you guys. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven is lucky to have your Mom. Love, Dawn

So sad to hear the news. Sending love and prayers to the family. I will miss Kathy's faith, style and warm personality. She will hold a special place in my heart for her strength and loving nature. My favorite memories growing up were visits to the Jersey Shore and spending time with Kathy and all the O'Briens'.

Dear Lauren, Kara, John & Kevin, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your family. I didn't get to see your mom very much but each time I did was always so memorable. My fond memories go all the way back to when you all lived above the funeral home and Beth and I would babysit or just spend the day or night. Your mom was always so gracious and generous. I think there were lots of beach days during that time too! She really was a classy lady. Her obituary was beautifully written and really captured her essence. Sending love and a warm hug to you all Geraldine

Story shared: I remember when....

So many tales to tell. On Sea Girt beach, people thought we were twins with our dark pony tails, and then our slim bodies and fantastic tans and lots of kids! You and Jack were kind enough to host two of my children one summer when we lived in the Midwest and there was no ocean....just a big lake! When we moved to Ct we saw a lot of each other....you visited us and we you in Spring Lake. We were the best of buddies. If we weren't visiting each other , we were talking on the phone. After Andy (Mr. A) died, the O'Bien family opened their several doors to Dawn and Kris, Debbie and me. That was very special for all of us. Times change, circumstances change. We move on in our different worlds , but we well remember the good times of which there were many. Please know that my heart goes out to all of you (John, Lauren, Kara, Kevin) at this most difficult time. I am so happy that ALL of you were with your Mom when she passed on to meet up with those who went before her. She is in a very good place where she is being welcomed with open arms . My love to all of the O'Brien children. You have a very special place in my life and my heart....Mrs. A

So very sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. We graduated St. Rose together and went on many double dates. She was a lovely person, and I know the family must be devastated. Rest in Peace, Kathy. I'm sure she's in the arms of Our Lord.
