Richard, Lori and Mom,
It was my priviledge and a great honor to have been able to help with Aunt Kay. I will miss her very much. She always made me chuckle with her little comments and her facial expressions. The matriarch of our family is now where she wants to be. I so wish I could see the enormous smile she must surely be wearing. I imagine the welcome she must have received from Uncle Dick, Edward, beautiful Kathy and beautiful Traci, Aunt Pat and all her brothers and her mother and father. How glorious it must be for her!! Although I weep for my own loss of my Aunt and for my mothers loss of her sister, I am overjoyed for the experience she is having in Heaven right now. Love to all of you...Kathy
