I was so sad to learn of Kitty’s passing. May God’s Tender Mercies come to John during this terrible time. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and I will include Kitty in our prayer book at our next Mass.
We have lost the dearest, sweetest friend, but heaven gained a beautiful angel…
Many prayers to all that loved her… Have strength in knowing… if anyone ever lived their dash for life, love, friends and family… that would be Ms. Kitty….
