I will miss the wonderful letters and calls from my cousin Kitty. She has been the one main connection to my father which I never knew due to his death at an early age. I am grateful for her continued interest in me and my family. She will be missed!

Robert, Peter, other Family Members: It is with much sorrow I heard of the passing of Your Mom. It's been 45 years since I played music with Robert and Peter, yet I fondly remember her grace and kindness, which through all of these years has left its impression upon me. She was certainly proud of her all talented children, while her warmth and charm welcomed all. I fondly recall She, Peter and Robert teaching me the proper way to eat Pasta with a fork and spoon as opposed to a knife and fork.
As perfect as God's heaven must be I can only surmise that heaven is a bit more perfect with her in it and those of us she leaves on this earth have been most enriched for being touched by her Grace.
With most heartfelt condolences!

Your mom was a wonderful spirit and person. She was like a second mom to me when I was young. She raised a great family and her spirit will live on.
