My sincere condolences to the Foster and Lavelle families on the passing of Aunt Kitty. A very sad time indeed. I recall all the wonderful memories, laughter, and banter shared over the years — and many a time seeing her “cutting a rug” with my mother. I didn’t know my mother could spin so fast until Kitty had her on the dance floor! They were a sight to see, and those moments will always stay with me.
