To John and Family:
I was heartbroken to hear of the loss of Kitty. The few times I had a chance to sit and talk with her, I thought she was the sweetest person. She was so kind and gentle with a very loving heart. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is now in the kingdom of heaven and smiling down on all of us. May your family rejoice in the loving memories of her, as we all will.
With my deepest sympathy.
