Katherine has a special place in my heart. She helped me pick out my wedding dress since my mother had died and she designed and made me a beautiful outfit for my honeymoon. She was like family to me. I babysat her girls and was godmother to her youngest daughter. I will miss visiting her.

My parents were lucky enough to have met Mrs. Vassos and her husband when they first moved to Cleveland. Their home took on so many roles in our lives, all a tribute to a monster work ethic, a fierce determination to succeed, and she was as lovely and classy a host as she was a devoted wife, and she was as devoted to her husband as anybod I’ve ever met. She modeled al these qualities to her students and this one can honestly say that he’s not only better for it, her passing marks the end of something profound. R.I.P., Auntie Kathy, you’re memory will be both vibrant and eternal. I miss you already.
