Dear Louis,
I read the notice in today's paper and was shocked to read about Kitty. I remembered working with her at Zayre's twenty years ago. My memories of Kitty were good.
May she rest in peace,

Dear Louie,Bill, Mary, Susan and Richard. I am so sorry for your loss. I treasure the memories that I have, growing up with your family. It seems every time Lizzie's family had a party that I was always included. Giggles, as I knew her was a wonderful gracious woman. She always was kind and generous and accepted me as part of her family. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With Love and Sympathy, Millie
