We are so sorry for your loss. I’ll remember Kitty as a fiesty, independent-minded woman who was always pleased when I called her a “real dame”, which she was in the very best sense of the word. Our thoughts are with you.
Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary Ann
Sending love your way. The two things I will always remember about Aunt Kitty are her incredible cooking and her lively spirit. My dad uses the word “feisty” and he is right. She was sassy in the best possible way. May we all leave such an impression on the world.
Patti and family, So sorry for your loss. Sending sympathy and prayers to you and your family.
Deepest Sympathy Patti & Family. Very sorry for your loss. We will continue to pray for the family.
Love Sharon & Jim
The warmest thoughts and prayers for my great Aunt Kitty. God bless.
We will always remember Aunt Kitty and her fiery friendly spirit. She was a mainstay at every Carpenter family reunion, and no one who had them will ever forget her baked beans!
Dear Patti and Joel,
Our sincere sympathies go out to you and the whole family in the passing of your Mother.
