Not sure what to say?

A friend, SLA colleague, travel buddy and eating partner. We shared a lot of time together over our 35+ years. My husband and I will miss her.

My condolences to the Scott family.What shows that a person value the gift of life? By the legacy they leave behind. May those happy memories sustain the family and bring some comfort to your heart.

psalms 46:1- God is for us a refuge and strength, a help that is readily to be found during distresses.

Kitty was a wonderful mentor and colleague and she guided so many of us over the years. We will miss her intelligence, wisdom, wonderful grace and charm.

I will miss Kitty's wit and sharp mind. Before blogging and social media, Kitty used the telephone to share her thoughts with me, as well as others, on the role of the profession in society. We spoke many times during my SLA Presidential year and I learned a great deal from her. My thoughts go to her family and many friends. Ethel M Salonen, Lexington, MA.

We mourn the passing of a distinguished professional, comforted by the fact that her leadership in the Special Libraries Association sustained the very organization where others could learn how to perform their professional work, well, almost as well as she!

Our Beloved Catherine "Kitty" will be missed but fondly remembered by Glyne and Sylvia Piggott. She was a good friend and mentor in my career
