I have thought of Kitty and all of the Dzierzak family many times over the years. I would like offer my deepest condolences to Louis and Doug and their families. Losing a parent is so very hard. I wish I had been given the chance to know her better.

I worked with Kitty at the Milwaukee Public Library-Central, for several years. I am very sorry to see this notice of her passing. Kitty was an excellent co-worker, very meticulous about the highly detailed work she was responsible for. She was also a dedicated union Stewart who cared about the rights of her fellow workers. My prayers and sympathy go out to her family, of whom she spoke so proudly and lovingly. May her memory be for a blessing.

In the difficult days to come, may the promise at Isaiah 35:5,6 give you comfort and hope.
