Dearest Blanche, Holly and family:



I was so saddened to receive your voice-mail about your "Aunt Kay." I was out-of-town and missed the visitation. She was so very special to me. I have great memories, which I have shared with my family on numerous occasions. Her family was her life and I feel I knew you all through her stories. I will forever remember her strength and determination with all she undertook - and her love of life! I will miss her, as I know you will. My thoughts are with you. Love to all,

Aunt kay was such a wonderful woman with stories I could have heard over and over. I will miss her so much. Our weekend trips to the Art Institute when I was little are memories I will cherish forever.
