Yesterday
My mother's, Kit, cousin who was known to us only as Mitzi. There were many visits to the aunts and uncles in Yonkers when I was a child and Mitzi was one of the cousins we had the most fun with. In later years work and distance stopped the number of visits until we lost touch. Saddened to hear of her passing. Sending up prayers for all the family.
