My heart aches at receiving such sad news about Katherine McCarthy.  For the many years that I have known Katherine, I have never seen her without a smile.  If she had a bad day, one would never know it.  There were occasions that she would tell me that she was getting ready to visit her parents and that she would tell them that I said hello.  As many others have mentioned, if I needed her assistance, she would do everything within her power to accommodate me and if she could not help with my request, she would give me a suggestion.  Working with Katherine has always been a joy and a privilege.  My prayers are with Katherine, her parents, her sister, and the family.

Dean Treanor, thanks for sending our notes to Katherine's parents.  

Take care and God bless.

Brenda Moore

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share with you the very sad news that Katherine McCarthy has entered a hospice and the prognosis is grave. I know that, for many of you, this news about Katherine’s dire health situation is a shock.  Friendly and open by nature, but also quite private about her life, Katherine did not want people to worry about her.

Katherine has been a wonderful, selfless colleague and a great friend.   She has contributed to the Law Center in countless ways, she has brought all of us who know her great joy, and her warmth and concern for others have been an inspiration.  It is a privilege to know her.

She is not receiving visitors. Please keep Katherine in your thoughts and prayers.

Sadly,
Bill
