Our prayers and thoughts are with this wonderful family at this sad but joyful time. Sad because Miss Kitty will be so missed but joyful because we will be reunited one day. Miss Kitty and Bruce were such a large part of the Upper Palmetto YMCA family. They both have a very special place in our heart.

Great memories from political campaigns from the 1970's and of our 1976 snowy trip to Washington DC with Broome GOP Chairman George Ingalls for the NorthEast Republican Conference. We met Vice-President Rockefeller and President Ford. Kitty was always the most gracious of hostesses. A most wonderful person.
