I knew Kitty since the 7th grade. I remember her bringing me home and the family pet was a St. Bernard. She always had a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this sad time.

Joe,
I am terribly sorry for your loss. As the kids and I lost Stacy a year ago this Wednesday, I can only say that I understand how desparate and painful these times are for you and your family. Kitty was a wonderful, vibrant person who will be greatly missed by those who knew her. My family and I will keep you and yours in our prayers, and if you ever want to talk please feel free to call.

So many years have passed and occasionally we have a passing thought of the Class of '76, we will all miss you as you were a part of this long ago formed bond. My condolences go out to those you have left behind, but I guess it is you who feels sorrow for us because we are left behind and you are now in paradise...

Deepest condolences to Kitty's entire family. I have great memories of Kitty skating up at the Playfield Park and of course bringing "Little" Bunny around! I think that was the St Bernard's name. Very sad to hear of her death.
