Gord, Nancy, Ken and Sue. I am so very sorry for you loss, I have so many wonderful memories of my Auntie Kay, she brought joy to everyone around her, she as an amazing woman, Wife, Mother, Sister, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, and friend. Her talents were endless, her greatest love was her family. She was my Mother's best friend for most of her lifetime, l cannot help but think that they are again reunited, just where they left off, once again enjoying each other and the others that we have lost along the way, l hope you can find comfort in your memories, they are our greatest gifts. Hugs to you all.....
