Memories of Kitty go away back with my family. You probably know she and her siblings ran around with my daddy on Brook Street in Biltmore. Daddy use to tell some many stories of all the girls and Therlow, Bo and more coming to their house. Running all over the hills of that place. Then of course we were brought to get her again when our children played baseball against each other. Cindy would bring the boys. It was like a reunion to me every time. I ran in to Kitty and Cindy this year at the store. I wanted us bad to go visit and hear more stories since my daddy was now gone. To each of you we send our sorrow for your lose but our joys for her gain. To be in the arms of Jesus right now. I can envy her. Jesus is your strength and He will keep you and carry you if you need Him to. It is sad to see another piece of that generation go home and not be with us. But they will be waiting when Jesus calls us home. Love you guys in Christ.
