My beautiful, sweet, caring, and thoughtful Aunt. Thank you for always being amazing to me and loving me unconditionally. You taught me to love myself from the inside out and that a little lipstick makes you feel unstoppable. Your contagious smile lit up every room you ever entered. Prayers for Uncle Dave, Jon and Todd to have healed hearts and memories to last forever.

I worked with Kaki at Coty and I would alway cherish the time I would spend with her at Dillards South Haven. My heart is broken to know I will never see her again.
She had a beautiful smile and heart. Rest in Peace Kaki.
