Dear Sweet Aunt Kitty, You will be always in my memory. Even though it has been years since last seeing you, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember that your gentle sweet nature and the kindness you gave to everyone will stay with me for the rest of my life. Making sure that I had a plate of peanut butter and Ritz crackers waiting when my parents visited was just the part of the thoughtfulness of the person you were. Be at peace now for you will never be gone or forgotten but just waiting for the rest of us when someday we can all be together again in the Lord’s presence. I love you Aunt Kitty and thank you for making my past filled with happy memories of family reunions and love.
Your niece, Diane
Dear Aunt Kitty, where do I start? You have been my Aunt for 64 years and I have so many wonderful memories that are in my heart. My mom, your baby sister, is heartsick. One day, you, Aunt Ange and my mom will all be together with both your brothers. I will miss your quiet ways and hugs. I am so glad I got to visit with you and Richard and Egisto and EJ in Oct. You looked absolutely beautiful sitting on the living room chair and that is how I will always remember you……….beautiful!!!
Love with all my heart, Your niece, Rosemarie
