Our Beloved Friend Kathy Mathias Has Passed Away

Yeah, normally there'd be a title stating Senator Jim Mathias' Wife passes away. However, Kathy is far more than just a Senators Wife.

As  Chief DiPino stated just a few minutes ago, Kathy was a "staple of our community" who had more "courage and valiant" than anyone I've ever known.

Kathy has unfortunately lost her battle over the past 20+ years fighting cancer. I can personally tell you that even though there have been many ups and downs over all of those years, there was nothing more exciting than to hear Jim or Kathy talk about how they beat it once again.

This last go around we knew something was different. However, there wasn't a single time Jim didn't say, with the grace of God we'll beat it again Joe.

To my dear friend Jim Mathias, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is truly broken and I wish I could hold the power to change this very sad news.

We will of course keep every one posted on any updates. Kathy passed away around 1:20 PM today.

New Posts will fall below this one for the rest of the evening.
