Not sure what to say?

Kit's piercing laughter Kit diving into her pool from the balcony of her house on her 80th birthday Kit lending me a van to take musicians and poets to Pensacola for a reading & insisting "no smoking" Kit's kids, Caroline and Jim, friends to this day

I heard of the name Kit Senter back in the 80s when I worked at the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic. She was the ultimate activist always fighting for what she believed in. Twenty plus years later when I finally met this great woman, I was struck by the fact that even age and illness did not prevent her from continuing her activism. We are all blessed to have known such an amazing woman!!

Dear Caroline,
My your mother rest in peace. She was a beacon of truth and justice for all, truely an inspirational person. We carry her in our hearts. It's a precious legacy. Best to you and Jimmy,

I was unaware of her greatness till my friend George Andrews told me about her. Thank God for giving us this woman of wisdom & honesty, a true force for good. Remembering her in my prayers and at the altar of God.

While studying at TUSPHTM, We lived at her place where I met Brad a friend of mine, at Fontainebleau drive. We remember you as a special good mom for us all.
In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always when remembering you.
Many thanks for your love and May God bless you

Koosie and Jimmy,

I know that we've lost touch over the years, but I wanted you to know that your mother was always one of my favorite people. I will never forget that crazy cackle, as she swung on a rope, Tarzan-style across the gymnasium at Tulane. As a child, she left me wide-eyed and smiling. How could an adult possibly be that cool? She lived life on her own terms!

I always admired her, and that was before I read of her many accomplishments. Wow.
What an a...

Caroline and Jimmy,
I am so sorry that I never had the opportunity to meet your mother being that she and the both of you are relatives. My mother, Mary Cade Stockmeyer, has spoken of her over the years but, unfortunately for me, our paths have never crossed. She seems to have been a truly wonderful woman. I know she will be missed by many. Hopefully, we will meet in the future.


Dear Caroline and Jimmy,

Although I've known your Mother for
just the last few years, Kit certainly made a lasting impression on my life; and now that she has passed, I regret not having spent more time with her. I know how important she was here in New Orleans in trying to bring about changes for the betterment of all citizens, but especially for those to whom justness, equality and impartiality were so lacking. I recently saw clips of news footage from the 60's as she...

Having only known of Kit through Donelson's stories, I so wish that I had known her. A truly amazing and admirable legacy.
