I was saddened to hear of Mittens passing. She meant SO much to SO many of us at SigEp. I have enjoyed reading some of the memories the guys had of her on the KU SigEp facebook page. She was such a wonderful person and will be missed.

I can't say it any better than Adam. It took a special woman to be able to live with that many of us for all those years. She was very special and meant a lot to us guys. It would have been very different around SigEp without her.

Mittens was a great woman that helped keep 100s of crazy boys in line, while providing more generosity than any of us could have ever asked for. She brought a piece of mind to all our own mothers, knowing that we all had the motherly support that we needed even in their absence. Thank you Mittens....you will always be remembered.
