Bryan and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Kitty Sue. What a beautiful picture you posted of her - and how I remember her that way!!!! I have such fond memories of her growing up when our families would get together, or I would spend time at the Reiter home. I know she is pain free now and wrapped in her heavenly Father's arms! Love to all the family.
