I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Kay. I know she is in heaven with Dad and Charlie and keeping the guys in line…. if that is possible. I will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.
Love, Jeanne and Betty (and of course Dad from above)
Pam and family, I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Kitty’s passing–I always enjoyed her company. When my girls were growing up and I had my mom come over for their birthdays, I would invite Aunt Kitty to come too. She made blankets for my girls when they were little. She may have lived by herself but she wasn’t lonely–she kept herself busy. The hurt and emptiness will be temporary but the memories will last forever. Peace be with all of you.
Dear family, I was very sorry to learn of Aunt Kitty’s death. Please accept my condolences and my very best wishes for all.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. Mom is resting peacefully and with God. That is the way she always wanted it.
