We will miss you Kay. You were always one of my favorite great aunts. I will miss hearing you sing, and I know you’re not hurting anymore. I know one thing for sure – you and Bill are reunited!
We love you!

Tammy and Amy, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother and Grand Mother. I know you’re feeling a huge loss right now. Words cannot take away the pain that you must be feeling.
