Kitty was a dear friend who will be so missed. We met year's ago on line and she talked so much about her dear Amanda. Now they are together again. We had some really nice phone conversations. She had so much love in her, especially for her family. RIP Kitty. Heaven has another angel. May God comfort Harlan and Kitty's entire family. <3

I had known Kitty for 10 years on the talk forums and she was very smart and a sweet woman. I am so sad knowing she is gone.
