Dear Tricia and Family,
As a neighbor to Kitty for about 15 years, my family and I became close to her. She was a lovely woman who would always take the time to talk about my children and the Collins and Lombardo children as well. We were a mighty "girl force" numbering 7(!) in total. Kitty and Coach Road did not know what they were getting when we moved in! Actually, WE didn't know what we would be gaining; Kitty became a beautiful neighbor and friend to all of us. She shared in our parties and celebrations enthusiastically and embraced our children like they were her own grandchildren. Kitty would walk regularly around the neighborhood until her eyes started to fail her. We enjoyed many conversations on the street or in her yard. She supported our girls by buying girl scout cookies, wrapping paper, and lemonade too! She always kept a close eye on the kids as they played and also did some emergency babysitting. I think she derived great joy from seeing our children grow up right before her. Kitty and I would see each other at St. Paul Church and catch up there after she left Coach Road. Her faith was deep and we would often talk about God and families. I know that God is smiling on Kitty now. We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. She truly was a mother to all of us here on Coach Road.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Cathy and Bill Luker, Kelly, Kristy, Shannon, & Courtney
