Kay, I will always be grateful for the wonderful childhood memories with you and Frank (especially Wednesday nights, baking cookies at Christmas, and vacations together). Thank you so much for all of the opportunities you provided and everything you taught me.

Frank, I'm so sorry she had to leave so soon. I pray that you can be comforted in knowing that she is now free and no longer sick. Just as it was God's plan to take her home at this time, it is also His plan for you to carry on. Kay's love will always be with you and I know that she wants nothing more than for you to find peace again and to someday begin to enjoy life again.
