To the Kitchen Family,
May God bless you all as you deal with the loss of your wonderful mother/grandmother. I met her while she was here in Sedalia. She enjoyed her children. What a wonderful mother. You have many, many wonderful memories of both your mother and father. James was my father Edgars' first cousin. Their fathers where brothers, therefore we are all cousins. Mrs. Bertha was blessed to have had her flowers while she lived.
God bless each of you!!!

This was truly a great lost to your family. I was blessed to have known your mother and she was really a nice person. I am a distant cousin but she said that I was one of the bunch. She said that I reminded her of one of her daughters, and for that I felt close to her. Thanks Ronnie and Jimmy for bringing her to Sedalia. We sure did have fun. She will be missed by you all as a mother and a friend. Love Sharon

I am Herbert Kitchen's sister from Vallejo, CA. Mrs Kitchen was a beautiful woman. While in Sedalia, MO. I was wearing a pair of earrings, and she said the earrings were beautiful. Because of her niceness, I gave her the earrings. I will always remember her.
God bless her family and all my Kitchen cousins.

I am Herbert James Kitchen born and raised in Sedalia, MO. The Kitchen family originated in the California, MO area, and my grandfather Henry Kitchen, was the brother of Clarence Kitchen, the father of James Kitchen, who was married to Bertha Kitchen.
I only met cousin Bertha once, at a funeral in Sedalia, MO, however, she was a very funny, caring and loving women, who deeply cared for her children, and her children's children.
My God bless her children, my Kitchen cousins, during their time of loss.
Love,
Herbert J. Kitchen
