Ms. Clapp,
Maam, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I will miss Kit ...our chats and shared books - she was a joy to know. And on behalf of Jordan Hospital and our patients, I remain very grateful for her concern and generous support over so many years...

Kit was an extraordinary person who was much loved by all who knew and admired her. I miss her marvelous asides and questions that nobody else asked.
