Kathryn (Munson) Toscano (1960 - 2010)
After Apple Picking by Robert Frost My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree Toward heaven still. And there's a barrel that I didn't fill Beside it, and there may be two or three Apples I didn't pick upon some bough. But I am done with apple-picking now. On Saturday, March 20th, my first cousin once removed, Kathryn (Munson) Toscano , passed away. Separated by the breadth of the country and a generation, our paths crossed only once or twice. Yet, I feel especially sad to say goodbye to Kathie, as she is from a younger generation and has left us much too soon. I began today's post with words from Robert Frost. Robert Frost is the sixth great-grandson of Nicholas Noyes (1615-1701) of Wiltshire, England, and Newbury, Massachusetts. Kathie is the ninth great-granddaughter of Nicholas Noyes. * *ancestry.com, One World Tree, viewed on March 24, 2010. © 2010, Cathy H Paris
