This message is from Ken and Mary Jo Smith:
Mary Jo and I were extremely fortunate to have known the Herrmann family.
First we met Ed, Ruth, and Butch through the Benson Lion's Club.
Ken thinks he had Kim in class. Ken got to coach Mick and knew Aaron as Gary Lee’s roomy and later as a golfing opponent. We knew the pretty little girl that played with our daughter, Marla.
God surely blessed us in this lifetime to have known and been in contact with the Herrmanns.
Thank you for allowing us in your lives.
We got to see Kit at Gary Lee’s wedding.
God bless in your time of need, Ken and Mary Jo Smith

Kit, you were a breath of fresh air and the world is a much better place because of you! Your warm, kind, gentle, and caring ways always impressed me. I remember taking you for a ride a few years back in my 1969 Chevy SS 396. What fun, and you even drove it! You always wore the most beautiful smile upon your face. The dances and political discussions we shared at many of our high school reunions will always be treasured memories of mine. May you Rest in Peace, my dear friend. I miss you!!!

Sister dear,
You have gone too soon, my sweet sister. That stinking, rotten, evil, fing cancer destroyed a great person. As your youngest sister, you took care of me, and as we grew older we became great sisters and had so much in common. We thought much the same way and had a million great discussions about politics, life, love, marriage, children, and life after death. A few days after you left for your next life, father dear let me know you were there and happy! And I will be waiting for your communication of flickering lights, so get with it!!
Memories flood these days, like the trip we took in the 70’s, across country, in the old beat up van! We were lucky we survived that one! And the time we escaped the less than happy that we were bugging them biker chicks, at Helldorado! YOU wanted to know why they had those tattoos, and we had to exit quickly! And when I sold you my Fiat, you sold it to someone in CA that flew you back to Phoenix after you delivered the car, and due to him loosing instrumentation, wound up in a prison yard surrounded by armed men! And the time we hiked the falls in Happy Valley, and you froze on the ledge! I thought I was going to have to call the rescue people! Lots of wonderful trips together! I remember them all!
When you settled in Benson, you joined the women’s club, and we started a very long BUNCO game night with many women, that continues to this day 40 years later! Some crazy nights there! There were also many wonderful family gatherings, which you NEVER missed. Lots of family traditional poker nights, lots of easter egg hunts, lots of love and laughter. One in particular was when you and Scott came to the parents in his van for a holiday gathering, and the road was very muddy. Scott was having trouble getting through, and asked you to look out the window and see if there was any progress, where upon he gassed it and, well, you had a very muddy face!! Lots of fun in the dune buggy and go carts too! So many fun family gatherings!
You moved on to Phoenix and had a wonderful career. The kids followed you, and there you held them under you wing and gave them so many years of love and comfort. You met wonderful Jim and married and so many of your dreams came true. You loved every animal that crossed your path, and took in the troubled. There was not a cross bone in your body. ALWAYS the loving, caring, kind, considerate, beautiful Leo that was your soul.
I have two other sisters and a brother with the same kind souls, and I am so blessed to have them, their wonderful children, their wonderful children, and all extended family and friends in my life.
I sure hope we hook up in the next life, because I really don’t think we were done here! I will hold you close to my heart until we meet again.
Your favorite sister!! ;)

My relationship with Kit was through my sister, Myrtle Young. I realize how important Kit is to her and how lucky one would be to have a person like Kit as s friend.
