What a beautiful soul Kitty was.  I will always remember her in the bedroom listening to her records of which Dolly was her favorite.  I loved to laugh with her at night when we were suppose to be sleeping and we would get away with it until she started laughing so hard she would snort   She always loved to get her hair brushed and dress up with her purse.  She was a very special person to me!
