Shocked to discover Kitti-Jo had died. Heard it Sunday. I have warm recollections of you, Ron, and Kittie-Jo and several family members, tho not seen over the last years. Way too young to pass from your lives for sure. Holding you close in this painful time. Barry

I met Miss Kitti through the girl scouts with both my daughters. Her never ending smile and her determination to make sure all the girls had a great experience is a major memory for me. I’m so glad her suffering is over but she’ll remain in many hearts for a very long time.
