I have wonderful memories of Kitty and Dick in a small plane in the 80's flying to gift shows. Kitty was so much fun to spend time with. I will miss you Kitty.

Kitty was my grandmother, Nancy Gerike’s best friend for many years and I remember playing at their home when I was young. Kitty rushed to see my grandmother when she was dying and I will not forget her saying to Nancy, “You weren’t supposed to go first. But it’s ok, I’ll see you again soon.” She was a sweet, loving soul. My condolences to you all.
