Aunt Kitty, I am so sorry I just found out today you passed away. I will always remember your smile, because no matter what you were always happy. You always called to see how I was doing after I moved in to take care of Grandma Jones and my parents. Thank you for caring. I love you.

My fondest memory of Kitty was on a camping trip at Hebgen Lake. One day us girls headed to West Yellowstone for some shopping and lunch where we shared stories and laughed a lot. When we got back to camp everyone got together to sit around the camp fire talking about their day. I miss those days. That´s the Kitty I will remember.
