We are so sorry to hear of the sad news. I have fond memories of Kitty's graciousness and warmth, especially from the brief time I lived in the Chicago area and the Bishop would be in town and we would get together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Shine family today and in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Michael & Ann McAuliffe Martin & Family

Our deepest sympathies to the Shine Family. I had a very nice conversation with Kitty about one month ago informing her of the passing of my mother Ann Skerrett. She shared with me a number of humorous stories about their early years which was very comforting to me. They can now enjoy those stories together. Take comfort in fond memories. Joanne & Patricia (Skerrett)
