Sandra Limpert says:
On behalf of our family, our heartfelt condolences. Although our families have long lost touch with each other, we all still have fond memories of our Uncle Herb & Aunt Catherine, and cousins Ronnie, Steve and Gregg. In later years, my mother greatly missed talking to her sister Catherine, as illness overtook her. Aunt Catherine was the last surviving child of the Kidd family; a generation has now passed in its entirety. Till we all meet again.
