My deepest sympathy to to all of you! I know Kitty loved you all very much! Her family was the most important thing in her life!!! It was such a blessing to know Kitty! She always had such a bubbly personality, we always had the best times on our antique road trips, we acted silly like a couple school girls. Kitty was my best friend and I miss her so much, but I know I will see her again one day!
I know Kitty will be watching over her family from above and her Spirit will always be with you!

Love, Kathy Doell
