LaRue,
Granma Kay will always be in my heart. She was such a special lady. I loved the days I spent at your house. I still remember Tomato soup Fridays and the beautiful Barbie clothes she made for her dolls. It's hard to believe it was over 25 years ago because it seems like just yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you...

Larue,
What a great service for our Gramma Kay. The carrousel horse was such a comforting addition. She would have been so proud the way everything looked at the front of the chapel.
I will miss sharing birthdays. We have so many great memories. Hugs
