Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege and good fortune to know and take care of Kitty in the latter part of her life. I felt we were kindred spirits and were meant to be together as friends as well as client and caregiver. We laughed, cooked, read, shopped, and sometimes took life serious. She was generous, kind and loving. Every time she left town, I worried; every time I left the house, she worried. I missed her when she took her final trip back east not knowing when I would see her again. I miss you Kitty...

Thanks Mom, love Morgan.

I have had the pleasure of having met Kitty man times growing up in the Springfield area. She was loved by so many. She was a hard working woman who was always very generous to our community here in Western Massachusetts. My Mom loved her show and we watched often. Rest in Peace Kitty. Your life opened doors to so many woman who came after you. To her family, I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Karen & Family: I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I have such fond memories of seeing her at Chamber of Commerce Breakfasts and other business functions over the years, as well as being interviewed by her on TV about my camper experiences when I was a young teen. I also recall that I met my husband at your home so, for lots of reasons, you and your family hold a fond place in my heart. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your Mom, an extremely amazing lady.

Erica, I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. Please extend my sympathies to your family.

I was fortunate enough to have first met Kitty in 1975, and she proved to be an inspiration and role model to me as well as to so many other young women who were just starting out in the business world back then. Her positive influence will...
