Kitty was a force of Nature--a funny one, to boot--and a pleasure to know and work with. Irreplaceable. She will always be present with our vivid memories of her and her many talents. Deep condolences to Frances, Kate, Emily and Louisa and to her grandchildren.

The years playing with her in the G String Granny Quartet were such a joy and our gatherings each week filled with laughter mostly because she had an inexhaustible number of very funny stories to tell. The photograph attached is of our group gathered at Laura Conley´s home around 2015. I will miss her very much.
