Yesterday

I have only known you two years, Kay, since I moved into Vantage Pointe Village, but what a wonderful two years I have had knowing you. We became friends very quickly, a good friendship that lasted even after you left. We had many breakfasts and lunches, and many more times with you taking me to doctor´s appointments because at 84 I could never get use to driving in Nashville. I don´t know what I would have done without you. We were alike in so many ways and we could always find something to laugh about. You texted me on Thanksgiving evening to tell me what a great day and meal you had, but you were exhausted. My last text from you. However, I will be there before too long, and we will continue it there. I love you, Kay, and can´t even express how much I will miss you, my friend. Thanks for all your goodnesses to me.

Love,

Betty Sutton
