I am thinking of you and praying that God's comfort of friends and family will be with you during this difficult time. My Aunt Bertha sat with Kitty at Green Hills Manor for their meals. I would sometimes join them, when the table was not all ready full. Bertha passed away on Oct. 15th. I had planned to visit Kitty in the hospital to tell her Bertha died. I was still taking care of Bertha's estate and was planning to see Kitty at the end of next week. This is a shock to me. Kitty was a great person and always very helpful to Bertha. Pleas accept my sincere sympathy.

My Deepest Sorrow go out to the family of Kitty. I met Kitty when I worked at Green Hills Manor. She brought a smile to me every day I was there. A woman I could never forget. I will think of her always and God Bless her soul and the family as well.
