My fondest memory of Aunt Kit and Uncle Jack was the hours they spent at my Grandparents (Al and Marge Golden) house, playing their favorite game Aggregation at the table. We play that game regularly at my house still today. She was wonderfully sweet and I know she is happy in heaven.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I was just viewing Katie's wedding pictures and I was admiring the family, especially the parents and grandparents, when I got the news about Kitty. It was a wonderful blessing that Kitty was there to share the beauty of Katie and Michael's special day.
May all the memories of Kitty bring the family comfort and peace. With Sympathy, Kathy Smith (Monticello, IN)
