Oh Kaye, You became a part of our family and we grew to love you so much. You had the kindest words and such a peaceful spirit. It was apparent that God lived in you in the way that you loved others. You will be missed this Thanksgiving and Christmas. It blesses me to know that Dad was there when you netered Heaven. I’m sure you two had a lot to talk about. We love you.
