To the Mary Kitts Family,
We were sorry to hear that Mary passed away. She was a very gracious lady whom we enjoyed! We have fond memories of sharing family history with her in her home and we always looked forward to hearing from her at Christmas. The Albrecht cousins will miss her and always looked up to her. May all of your fond memories of Mary sustain you during this time and give you comfort. With love,
