Summary
The Harmon family published a June 1998 note thanking Beaver Islanders for support during Kutsa’s hospital stays and bereavement. The letter preserves a community record of cards, Masses, memorial gifts, food, prayers, and personal care, while describing Kutsa’s continuing place in the island landscape.
Evidence limits
The note does not give Kutsa’s full name, dates, diagnosis, death date, or a civil, hospital, or funeral record; those details remain unresolved here.
