Kathryn was a cousin to Shelley and myself we played together in our childhood years..I often thought of Kathryn and saw her Dad in later years. I wish we had seen each other again. Aunty Joy was so lovely and Kathryn would have been the same.
Love to the Cook and Ballantine family. Megan and Shelley CORADINE

I was deeply saddened to hear of Kathryn´s passing. I had the privilege of working with her in the micro lab when I was just out of Uni, and she left a lasting impression on me. Kathryn was always calm, professional, with a quiet strength. My heartfelt condolences to Shayne, family, and friends.
