I remember Kitty in 1964. She was so beautiful, kind and loving, She was so heart broken when her cousin "Michael Stephen Bench ( Mickey)" pass away. I know they'll be 
Together in Heaven with the rest of the families.May the Lord God,Bless Her Always.🌹🙏💔

So very sorry and my condolences to all the family.   She fought this battle hard and gave it all she could.  I'm thankful I was able to know her and I'm going to miss her NY accent.

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of our cousin Kitty.  My condolences to John, Joe and Mike and their families ; Kitty’s daughters, grandchildren and great grandson.  My mother Helen Weston , was Kitty’ s Mom’s Amelia’s sister from the large Bench family. My Mom babysat Kitty on occasion as a child .  We visited with Aunt Millie and Uncle Mike , John , Kitty, Joe and Mike in the Bronx back in the day. Kitty loved to dance as a teenager and on one visit demonstrated to myself and  my sister Barbara - we were maybe 10 and 7 years old!- dances like the “Mashed Potato “ , “ The Twist” and the “Peppermint Twist” - the hot dances of the time! She was really good !  We also listened to Beatles albums - you know- yikes things called “ records” ! This photo of Kitty is wonderful !!! 

Dear Elizabeth, Victoria & Family ~
We are saddened to hear of Aunt Kitty’s passing. For the few times I visited your Mom, I enjoyed spending time with her. It was great hearing about her growing- up years in the Bronx & Manhattan with my Dad (John). 
We hope you will find comfort in the fact that you took excellent care of your Mom. Please take care of yourselves at this trying time & lean on family & friends, as their love & care will help you through the days ahead.
With deepest sympathy & condolences to you, Uncle Mike, Uncle Joe & families, we send you our love & support.
Sincerely,
Steven Kartychak & family

Nana, 

You accepted me as one of your own immediately, and I am forever grateful. You were one of the most important people in Zac’s life, from taking care of him, to playing basketball outside no matter the weather, to kicking his butt in cards. He loves you more than anything. 

We will always treasure the time you spent with us and Declan, he loved meeting you and listening to you sing songs with the wrong words. I’m so happy you got to see him crawl and take steps. 

Eating Chinese food, playing Jeopardy, listening to you and Zac pick on each other, I will miss all of those things. Thank you for being such a wonderful Nana, we miss you, and we love you always.
