Good Bye to Kathleen


Over the last couple of weeks, whenever I remembered that I had plans for this Sunday my first thought was that I would see Kathleen. I had to remind myself over and over that I would not meet her in person, but only in the form of family and friends' memories of her. Each time the realization came as a shock, part of my brain apparently still in denial. Kathleen's Service was very sad, but also very sweet. The Church couldn't hold all the people, who came. So many simply adored her. It's still hard to understand how somebody so vibrant could completely disappear. But of course the love everybody feels for her lives on, as does her poetry, which is on display now at 913 Cedar Street in Santa Cruz.
KUSP’s Poetry Show was dedicated to Kathleen on April 12 and is available here
