I am so sorry for your loss. Kay was an amazing lady. I enjoyed working with her as a floral designer. She was always quick to share new things whether it was a new recipe or some good music. Everytime I hear the Uppity Blues Women I think of her. She will truly be missed.

“Aunt” Kay was always so easy to love. That smile was always on her face whenever I had the pleasure of getting to see her. She will always be remembered for her famous Aunt Kay Shrimp Dip! She will definitely be missed.
