Kay , beautiful girl, triumphant soul. My dear childhood friend who taught me so much about life and about myself. I leaned on you so often growing up, then life took us in different directions... but you were always there to love me, point my hope towards the future and see the humor in any situation. My goodness, I will miss you. Until heaven Kay....
