Dear Mike,
I received an email from Gary and Anita Burt, my youngest brother and his wife,today telling me about Kathy's death.  I'm so sorry I didn't know she was ill.  I haven't seen her since Aunt Mutt passed away several years ago.  I won't be able to attend the memorial service at such late notice due to my health.  However, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss, as well as, the loss of those who knew and loved her.  I have very fond memories of Kathy and my Aunt Nina.  Kathy, as a very young child, was so special, because other than me, she was the only girl in the family.  She was a beautiful child and grew up to be a lovely woman.  I enjoyed my last visit with her at Mutt's funeral so much.  I'm very sorry that I lost touch with her for all of those years.
My daughter, Jan McDonald, with whom I live in Austin, also sends her condolences. Know that you are in our prayers.
Sincerely, 
Helen Parker, Jan & Mike McDonald##imported-begin##Helen Burt Parker##imported-end##
