Dear Kenny, Arlene, Barbara, Betty, Sharon and family,
What I will remember always about Aunt Kitty and what makes me smile just to think of her is that little musical laugh. Her sense of humor and positive attitude kept her vibrant and made everyone around her happy just to be with her. Whenever my family was planning a gathering at the lake, the first thing everyone wanted to know was "is Aunt Kitty able to come?" We liked nothing better than to enthone her in the rocking chair on the deck and listen to her laugh and talk. The last trip she made to see us was courtesy of Sharon, Barbara and Betty who joined us for Memorial Day this past spring. It was such a beautiful day. Thank you ladies for sharing her with us. We will miss her so much but her lovely spirit will remain in our hearts. Love, Susan
