I miss you Gram. I will always remember how you touched people, and how that gift has been passed to your children. Thank you Gram for giving Franny, Cece, and me the gift of Kitty. We will always remember your kindness, generosity, and beauty as it will live on in our memories and through your children. We Love You!

Each time I pulled a hair out,...

Kitty: Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
