From the family of Katharine (Kit) P. Walters: Katharine, Cheryl, Todd and I would like to thank each and everyone of you who have done so much for us as we said good-bye to our loving Mother. It is with much difficulty that I search for the words to describe how all or you have comforted, supported, aided and loved us through what would have otherwise been a time of immeasurable sorrow. From the people who were able to join us at the hospital to say good-bye, (giving us so many wonderful stories about Kit and broad shoulders to cry on), to the Sherriffs Department who blessed us with a Honor Guard at the calling hours, (a honor I know Kit would have been absolutely over whelmed with), all those that came out on that rainy Wed. night to share and support us agian in a room that was filled with all of Mom's favorite floweres so loving given by those that missed her already, to those that joined us at the church flanked once again by the Honor Guard and of course those that were able to return to Kit's blessed Glenwood for a celebration of her life. We were honored and blessed by those that came from across the street tot those that traveled many, many miles as well as from across the country to pay thier respectys and share stories, as well as the special tributes made by those that spoke and sang at the funeral, not to mention those that remembered Mom with special trees to be planted in her memory. The fact that we have so much to be gratful for at this times speaks volumes about how loved, cherished and respected our Mother was. We ar in awe and so very proud of her. The cards. the calls, the flowers, the food, the kind words, gentle hugs and special efforts made by those that knew and loved her touched our hearts and eased our pain, for these things there are no words to express our very deep gratitude.
God Bless and Thank You
Karen

On behalf of myself and coworkers in the Code Enforcement Office, please accept our condolences on the loss of Kit. For years Kit came in every Monday to look at our building permits issued that week for publication in the Citizen. She was a real firecracker and we were all so sorry to hear of her passing.

To all the Family of Kit, please know I share in your feelings of deep loss. Not only was Kit a wonderful neighbor, she was my very dear friend and an inspiration. What wonderful memories...just too many to mention. I will truly miss her and will always have her in my heart. I was truly blessed having her as part of my life.

Quite some years ago I was staying with my daughter Diane as she recuperated from surgery. The DA's office brought her work to her and picked it up daily. Kit came over during that time, often just to socialize during a dinner she would bring, and after into the evening. She was a wonderful lady. She is with our Father now, I'm sure. She made a lasting great impression on me, and is in my prayers.

To Kit's family;
John and I were very sad to learn of Kit's passing. We remember fondly dinners and evenings out with Kit, Michael and Nan, often with other fascinating friends and family members. What a bright, witty and warm person she was. Our thoughts are with you all.

There are no words to express my feelings for Kit, our wonderful conversations on the phone and late night "chats" at Glenwood. She made me feel like one of her children and shared so much. I will truly miss her!!! She definitely is a unique woman and not one you're likely to forget. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

To our Glenwood Family,
We both are so very saddened by Kittie Mom's passing.
We have many fond memories,.. grand times with her and all of you too, so many that smiles come to our faces as we remember Kit and her good nature allowing us to sing to her, for her, about her and with her, to be part of her family and enjoy her porch stores and up to the minute world happenings..to be so graciously entertained in so many ways..she sorely will be missed by us!
We find little comfort in the fact that we just recently had a quick visit with her (and most of our extended family at Glenwood), where once again she welcomed us and made us feel "at home", for that we smile again...
Please know that though we can not be there for her service on Wednesday, we are with all of you in our hearts and prayers.
much love and sympathy,
Marie & Michael

To Kit's family - As you know, Kit and I became friends late in life, meeting each other in Auburn City Court, in 2002,but she was the very best one could have. God's peace+ Anne Colgan

To Kit's family - I will cherish the wonderful memories of the few nights out we shared at the Merry-Go-Round Theatre, dinner beforehand at Balloon's, stories of you all. She was my very first friend here in CNY, beginning in 2002, and a real friend indeed. Fortunately, our paths crossed at Auburn City Court, late in life, but not too late to have fun in our "retired" years. God's peace+ Anne Colgan

Kit was my second "Mom" for the past 18 years. Kit never let anything keep her down and did not want to waste even a minute of her life sitting around doing nothing, which is why there was no such thing as retirement for Kit. Kit was a role model for everyone who knew her. Kit never sat around thinking about doing things, she just went and did them. Kit kept telling everyone that she would be going home from the hospital by the end of last week, and sure enough, God took her home with Him on Friday morning. I'm sure she is hard at work watching over her family and friends from there. Thank you to Karen and your family for sharing Kit with us before she went "home" for the last time.
