I´m so very sad to hear of Kit´s passing. She was a wonderful friend and work partner over many years. I enjoyed many hours of conversation with her during our mutual lunch break while teaching. If there ever was one person who cared for her family, it was Kit. She always spoke lovingly of them in our chats together. Although we have been out of contact over the past several years, I have special memories of her as an upbeat, vibrant, and optimistic human being. Condolences to all of her family she so loved !
