Oh, my beautiful Auntie Kay, I will miss you so very, very much. I have loved you for forty-seven and a half years and will continue to do so until it's time for me to join you. You provided a secure and loving family environment in which my child was cared for and that meant the whole world to me. All my love to you and Uncle Harold too.
Auntie Kay and my mother, Lorraine

Dear Albert, Rita, and family,
So sorry to hear of Auntie Kay's passing. I have wonderful childhood memories of times with her on Silver Lake. She was the definition of a classy lady. We all loved her so very much, especially my mom who passed a little over a year ago. Lifelong friends who are now angels in heaven looking over us all. My prayers and thoughts are with you....
