Billie (Warner) Crigler & Bob I was so sorry to hear of Kittie's death. She and I had some great times growing up in Franklin. She was loved by all of the dirty half dozen as Mr. Eye would tease us because we had a little group that played together and had loads of fun. I know what a holewill be left in all of your hearts, but just remember all the love and laughter you all shared over the years and may all the good memories help heal the loss. They say time heals all, sometimes you still have that deep ache that you fell but when you do think of some happy funny time and laugh at all of those times. Remember she loved you all very much and gave herall to all. Bob and I will keep all in our prayers. May God give you peace in this time of sorrow. With our sincereest sympathy Billie & Bob Crigler Jack & Family 2009-09-18 18:52:44

Sent a note for all of you to Jack's office but some may not see it and I want you to know how heartsick I am at Kittie's passing. Every memory of her is one of her kindness & care for others. But I also feel grateful that her struggle is not prolonged and for all of those in Christ, this is but a time of separation and we will be eternally with her. Until then, may God be a blessed comfort. In HIS eternal love and mine, Kitty Bennett Kitty Bennett 2009-09-27 11:50:39

Dear Big D and DePoy Family Big D. and DePoy Family As you all know Ms Kitty meant the world to me and was always there for me when I was going up with the boys. If it wasn't for Ms Kitty keeping a handle on me who knows where I would be today. I might still be sitting at the baseball field waiting for my ride. Thanks to all her kindness, caring and love I will remember in my heart forever. Woody Woody (Tripp Denton) 2009-09-29 09:38:04

My condolences to the entire Depoy family. The loss of your Mother is especially hard and I am thinking of you all at this time. Many years have passed and many times Jack and Kitty have been in my thoughts, as the family has. Our moms are a blessing and as much as they enrich our lives alive, once gone, we realize even more how very precious they are. May you all be strong and know that she is still living in your hearts and souls forever. Laura and family Laura and family 2009-10-25 08:03:40
