Our hearts and prayers are with the family , health prevents us from being with you today, no words can express our sorrow. We will surely miss Kitty, she loved family. Kitty would contact Eleanor each time she would hear of a person with the” White” name to see if they were family and many times they were. Kitty was small in stature but a giant in heart and compassion.
I am so sorry to the family for your loss. I have never known a more kinder or sweeter person. I loved her very much. She always treated me like family and loved Jessica with all her heart. We have lost her here on earth but heaven has gained a dear sweet angel. RIP Miss Kitty
Kenny, We extend our deepest sympathies in the passing of your Mom. I am sorry we have lost touch over the years. Sincerely, Duke.
