I am so sad to hear this. I'm not on Facebook so the news was slow to reach me. Kaye and I were good friends. We worked together for over 10 years at Joyce Ssportswear at the Apparel Center in Chicago. Since retiring. We emailed and talked on the phone every few months. I am so sorry.

So very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you all. I only met Kaye a few times but she was very sweet and very pretty. Always looked well put together. If none of you know me I'm Jeanne's (Jeff's girlfriend's) youngest Daughter. Wanted to offer my condolences and prayers to all of you. You're all in my thoughts. Rest in peace Kay, you made the very best with the life you were given and now you can have the peace and happiness that you deserve.
