Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry about Kitty's death. The obituary was so thoughtful and truly captured her wonderful life. I know that she will be missed by everyone in the family. I have happy memories of Kitty from long ago.

I am relieved that her struggle is over but she deserved many more years, she was a trooper!

One of my fondest memories of Kitty is she sold all her pots and pans when she moved from Warson road. Kitty said they will have cheese and crackers for dinner or go out. I thought it was a brilliant move!
