In loving memory of Kathy McKnight Bergen....Fly high my sweet friend❤️
Kathy was everyone's favorite aunt. She introduced me to The Beatles when I was six years old. (Read the whole story at http://hbts.com/i-wanna-hold-your-hand/ ). She was also the first person to take me out driving when I got my learner's permit, and she was completely chill. I'm sorry we did not get to spend more tie together in recent years. -- CCW
My heart is heavy and I know Michael and family all have a heavy heart on the passing of Kathy. She was such a wonderful person and always so kind to my Mother when she visited Aunt Rena.
My Aunt was a great friend to me. As a child , my family lived with her and and grandma in E Brunswick. I remember her as a teenager listening to pop music with the phone in her hand , the legs up on the headboard. The typical teenager. I wanted to be her.
This past summer I was very sick ( so was she) and she called me almost every day.
What a great person. I will miss her so much ❤️
My Aunt Kathy was more than aunt to me. She was like a big sister to me especially when I was younger. I would go to my grandmother’s house and go into Kathy’s bedroom and she would play the latest 78 record,, from Teeny Weeny Yellow Poka Dot Bikini To the Beat to a Different Drum. In high school she would take me shopping and I could talk to her about anything. I always looked forward to holidays when I knew I would get to see her. She became more than an aunt , she became a friend and was my Maid of Honor. Though we lived far apart and didn’t see each other as often as I wish I could have, are hearts were close. Kathy always made it easy to talk to her. The last time we were together, we laughed so hard trying to get a good picture of us. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. Even when she was sick she carried herself with amazing grace. Kathy, I love you and will miss you. Sending Michael , Kate and Regina’s family peace at this time. With love, from Janet and Ron
I met Kathy as an incoming freshman to Pace University. My mom and I were lost trying to find the financial aid office and ended up at the Welcome Center for directions. Kathy was working the front desk as always & gave us directions... and ended up offering me a job as a tour guide! I was a complete stranger but she said she had a good feeling about me! I ended up working there until I started student teaching full time in my senior year! So thankful she took a chance on me and I’m honored to have been able to work with her so long. The Welcome Center is still one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had!
My kids and her kids grew up together in Pocantico Hills. I remeber all the parties, fairs, school trips, school functions and all the activities we did together. She was a kind person, an attentive and caring mom and a good friend. She will be missed but her memory will be with me and all the people she touched during her life. May she rest in peace.

I am very sad for this loss. Kathy and I worked on the same floor at Pace University. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed and Kathy was one. she always made me smile.I will cherish the time and memories we shared. Being friends with someone is not an opportunity, but a sweet responsibility.
I loved Kathy and will try to imitate her friendliness and warmth.

Kathy and I were friends for many years. I worked with Michael and I spoke with Kathy quite often. When they moved to Delaware we would meet for lunch whenever she came back to visit the girls. She was so kind and loving. She was a special friend and I will kiss her.
