Aunt Kay, Thank you for all the wonderful memories you helped to create for me during my childhood. As I became an adult you were there for every special event in my life and I will always be grateful. I smile when I think of my parents, Uncle Bud and all our relatives already in heaven greeting you as God welcomed you home. Love you always, Mary
