We are so sorry to hear of the sad loss of Kitty. Although we only met her the once we felt as if we had known her for years as her name often crept up in conversation with Heather. We will always remeber her as a kind,caring and witty scottish lady who was always there for Heather. Our thoughts are with the family. Love Dorothy and Andrew Close

Dear Nannette and family,

I was sorry to hear about Kitty. She was such a fun lady. I would always tell Nannette I was going to put her in my pocket and take her home with me. She was always so sweet to me and concerned about my family. Nannette, what a blessing that you had your mom in your life. You took such good care of her. I know what a void you will have with out her, she will always be with you..I think of you often and my deepest regrets to you and your family at this sad time. May God help you to have peace in your heart to help ease your pain. Our prayers are with you and your family. I am out of town I am so sorry I missed the service. Love always,Caryl

Kitty was a very special part of my life. I met her over 25 years ago when I first moved to Utah from Scotland. She introduced me to her wonderful daughter Nannette who became my very close friend. Kitty and Dennis were like parents to me and I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with her. I think of her often and I will miss her dearly.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family at this sad time in our lives.

Love Heather
