KathleenOGINO

OGINO, Kathleen Left us on Wednesday, April 5, 2017. Kathleen was a teacher, mentor, and dear friend to many. She was appreciated, admired and loved by those who knew her. She was an elementary school teacher for over 20 years. Kathleen’s sense of love, caring and generosity, was so deep she could access a treasury of resources to meet every moment and situation creatively, and her unique way of seeing things made it always a pleasure and comfort to be with her. Her favourite colour was blue. And her favourite animals were cats. For the past 14 years, the esteemed Siamese, Bodhicatva Ogino, was her constant companion and conversationalist at home. The world needs more people like Kathleen and the world will be less without her presence. Kathleen, we miss you. Special thanks are due to the caregivers, medical staff and all her very close friends who supported her during the past months. There will be a celebration of Kathleen’s life on May 28th.
