Kitty was my 1st new neighbor at Fairways North in 2019. With the Covid Pandemic, I started the weekly Sunday afternoon "Corridor Concerts". Five neighbors formed the core group who met in the hall for wine, music and conversation all from a "social distance"! We did this weekly for 2 1/2 years! Kitty said it was the highlight of her week! She was the "grand dame" having lived here for 20+ yrs. I will always cherish her kindness and compassion. I miss her deeply. Rest in peace, good friend.

Kitty will truly be missed by all who knew her. She was a good friend and I valued her friendship. Sorry I cannot be with you in your time of need.

Sending much love to you each of you. Kitty welcomed me repeatedly into her/your home during my high school years and thereby provided me with a second family after mine had been shattered by loss. I´ve been deeply grateful to her ever since.
