To the family of Kathy Gonhue I am currently in Florida and thinking about the great times and many conversations that I have had with her in this past year. Kathy was a kind, compassionate, person who saw good in everyone. We had a great time working together at ISD 709 for many years and I will treasure our last conversation that we had while she was in hospice. Peace to her family. marge wiedemann
