I really enjoyed seeing Kitty everyday when I delivered the newspaper to her home. I delivered it fir over five years so I got to know her cause she would come to the door and get the paper and talk to me. She was a wonderful lady and I for one am glad to have known her and call her a friend. RIP Kitty! You will be missed.
