I will always remember Kay with a smile; she always could make you laugh; was a loving and gentle grandmother - and of course her knitting and cooking skills were legendary. I believe she would not want you to grieve but instead celebrate her life! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Renae, Travis and family: When my grandmother passed, many years ago, a friend sent the following words to me. I keep them posted by my desk. I hope that you can take the same peace and comfort from them that I do. IN MEMORIUM

In countless gentle, kindly ways she lived a sermon all her days. Believing in the folk she knew and making friends her lifetime through
Enjoying life, its works and fun, she sought the best in everyone. Living her faith from day to day, she sowed good seed along the way.
Now death has set her spirit free in fields of immortality, to claim a task of greater worth than any she had known on earth.

MISS ME_BUT LET ME GO

When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take. And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.
