Dear Ma,

I Love You very much. Things just aren't the same without you up here. But I know you will always be with us in our hearts!! I'm gonna pass that test here soon, and take what you have taught me, and hope I can be half as good as nurse as you were. Well the next time I see you will be in Heaven, and won't that be a grand time. :):):)

Love always,

Carrie

Kaye was my very first head nurse at Forsyth Hospital. When I was nervous, she made me feel at ease. She touched so many nurses this way,who in turn touched hundreds of lives. So, in a way , part of her will always be with us as nurses continue to give the care she taught us to give. My sincere sympathy to her family. Brenda

To a very special family of a very special friend, we have lost a wonderful person to go to a place where we shall all see her again. The Orthopedic Unit has lost a nurse for whom many patients will miss, as will all of us who knew that when we needed those sevices, we could always have the care of Kaye. Words will never say how much we will miss her and how much we care about her. Linda

Momma Kaye will be missed more than words can say. She was like a mother to all of who laughed and talked with her every night at work. She loved her job and she loved her people. I've never known a more strong and repected lady. We will greatly miss you here on the ortho floor, yet I know in my heart you will always be shining down on us. Love you...Shannan (aka) your grasshopper
