Your Mom loved you; please stay close.
Know how much I love all of you and understand the pain of losing parents, especially your Mom.
Love and hugs, Aunt Kay

I loved growing up in the same neighborhood and although she was my aunt; we were more like friends/sisters due to being close in age. I cherish the nights I spent recently at her home in Clifton Park when I was in the area. Mostly, I am grateful I had the privilege of praying with her in the hospital on her last day in this world! So excited for her that she is in Heaven!
