Hallie and Shannon. Even though years have passed, there are many times I remember the pediatric department and Kaye's always pleasant smile. She is remembered as giving 100% to her patients in her care. She is missed by many.

Hallie and Shannon,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. My daughter and I had just seen her at the doctor's office in August and she was kind, as usual. I enjoyed working with her at school, too, in regards to both of you. Grief is so difficult to get through, even when you know the time is coming; so when it is unexpected, I can't even imagine. Know that people care about you and about how you are doing. I know you've heard this a lot, but if you need anything, please reach out. You know, for sure, how to reach me at school. Sending you peace and comforting wishes.

To Kaye's Family,
I am so sorry to hear that Kaye has passed away. I did not know until today. She has been the nurse at Aurora's Pediatrics Dept. for my children since they were little. She was an expert in her field, very knowledgeable, very compassionate, and so very kind to my children and I. We will truly miss her presence. She had such a calm and pleasant demeanor. I always knew that if one of my children were sick I could call peds. and ask for Kaye. She always went above and beyond her duties with her patients. She was a mother's "best friend" so to speak because she was so reliable, so reassuring and always willing to listen whenever my children were sick and I was worried. Although I did not know her outside of Aurora, she still had a tremendous impact on my children and myself - we will ALL miss her. We have truly lost a devoted caregiver and a good friend, as well. Shannon and Hallie, you will be in my prayers. Please know what a wonderful woman your Mom was!

To Kaye's Family,
We went today for annual physicals...until today, we had no idea. My children, ages 12 and 9 have known only Kaye as their nurse since the time they were born. We are deeply saddened - and wanted you to know that she was a very special person. Kaye was a pillar in peds. We trusted her, counted on her...and genuinely liked and looked forward to seeing her. Professional, sharp, attentive, knowledgable and reliable - We were truly blessed to have had her throughout baby shots, toddler bumps & bruises and childhood annual exams. She is someone who was very much a part of our lives - even though we did not know her beyond the doors of the exam room. We will miss her tremendously and can only imagine the loss you have experienced. We hope you find comfort in knowing that she left a "forever footprint" in our hearts - even though we only knew her on such a limited basis. God bless your family

I'm so sorry to have missed the opportunity to say goodbye to my friend Kaye. I wish I would have known her life would end so soon. I enjoyed her at work and out to eat and hope she is in a happier place. She was a special person to me.

I worked with Kaye at Aurora as we started in Peds together. She worked so hard and was always there for me then and recently with any question I had. I will deeply miss her and pray her family finds comfort in knowing she was loved by many.

While working with the pediatric department at Aurora, it became clear that Kaye always had a pleasantness about her no matter what the day. Her smile made you smile! She was a hard worker and always gave 100% to her patients, and was a valuable component to a wonderful pediatric department. May your family and friends comfort you during this most difficult time. She will be truly missed by many people.

I am so sorry to hear of your unexpected loss. It's hard, I KNOW. My father passed away on the 18th hole, while golfing w/friends. Our parents are lucky, for they are now in paradise, but it's difficult for us survivors. It comforts me to know that SOMEDAY we will be reunited.
Your mom was my 2 daughters' pediatric nurse. My youngest has Down Syndrome & is petrified of all Dr appts, but your mom was always so good and patient with her.
I'm in shock, and I'm sure you are 1,000 times more.
