Guest Swifthounds Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 So sorry to hear it. We've seen them perform many time in the last decade or so - never missed an opportunity and I always learned something new. She will be missed.

ozgirl2 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I was so shocked & saddened to see Kathleen's name here in Remembrance... I loved seeing her & Gil and the Gilley girls perform. I had just posted some pix from their GIG performance last year in a thread about her essay on greys a few weeks ago. Run with the greys at the bridge, Kathleen - I know they were ALL there to greet you! Prayers for Gil and the girls...

Guest FastDogsOwnMe Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Oh that's sad! I met them it seems not more than a year ago, and I never would have imagined she'd be passing any time soon. Those dogs were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryl2 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My deepest sympathies to her husband. A tragic loss for all greyhound lovers. I had the pleasure of meeting them several times and they were so warm and caring and just wonderful to talk to.

greyhoundlov Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I met Kathleen and Gil at Gulf Greyhound Park several years ago. Somehow the fact that I was from the Canal Zone in Panama came up and it turns out that Gil was also from there and his dad and my dad used to hunt and fish together. Gil survived his illness against all odds. Now for this to happen to Kathleen just breaks my heart.

Guest Whistle Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am so sorry to hear this. Does anyone know Gil who would be willing to receive snail mail condolences and get them to him? Or does someone know where we can send them directly? I have pictures from seeing them perform last September as well. I would think it would mean a lot to hear from those they've touched in the GH community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mdituro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) This is such a huge loss for both the Greyhound Community and on a personal level. Kathleen was a tremendous proponent of Greyhound adoption. She had a vast knowledge of medical care & behavioral/training techniques - she never hesitated to help in either of those areas, regardless of who you were or how you knew her. I feel privileged to have spent a little time & had dinners, on several occasions, with her & Gil. My heart breaks for Gil - Kathleen's soulmate for over 37 years. I hope he knows he is not alone in his grief, that others are sending prayers and warm thoughts of sympathy for his loss. Further, I hope he see these posts so that maybe he can take some comfort in knowing that others are sharing in remembering Kathleen here & just how much she was loved or how she touched each of us posting on this thread. I will remember Kathleen for her contribution of time, energy, dedication and endless hours of performance which were so very valuable to all of the Greyhound Community in reaching out to educate the public, at large. She gave of herself tirelessly, sometimes in pain but, the show had to go on. And while the show evolved over the years, two things never changed: Kathleen's keen sense of humor and dedication to the dogs. Godspeed Kathleen, there must have been a huge herd of hounds that greeted you at the Bridge. You will be missed.

TheFullHouse Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Oh no! I'm so sad to hear this news. I've met them several times and they would always come by and visit Mike and I at the showcase of dogs each year. My heart goes out to Gil. Godspeed Kathleen, there are so many to greet you at the bridge. I envision a huge crowd of greyhounds surrounding you as you crossed over.

Greyhoundcastle Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Oh, how very, very sad! She and Gil were in St. Joseph, Missouri, last May at Sylvia Petit's grey get-together, and several of us from the Wichita area had the pleasure of seeing them again. There will never be another greyhounder quite like Kathleen; that mold was broken many years ago. My heart goes out to Gil for the loss of his longtime love and companion. I do hope he has a chance to read this thread someday, and like many of you, I have a heart-warming mental picture of Kathleen, virtually "mobbed" by her own beloved angel houndies and scads of others as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
