Not sure what to say?

So sorry to learn we lost Kit. She was a good friend at Drake Law School. So smart and quick. We always knew she would excel at whatever she endeavored!

Kit was a wonderful woman and did a lot of good in the world.

I knew Catherine at the Drake University Law School. My condolences to the family.
