It still seems so unreal that you're gone. I still picture walking in the house and seeing you sitting in your recliner or in the kitchen cooking. Life is not going to be the same without you. Your laugh and smile are forever engraved in my heart and mind. I love and miss you so much Mom.

Kay, also known as "Mom" to all of us. I am going to miss seeing you at all the kids events. I loved sitting with you in no matter what the weather watching soccer. You are going to be missed for sure. Thank you for being a part of my life also!

Kay, We had a up and down relationship! I guess two tough minded people disagree but it didn't mean I didn't love you! You were such an inspiration to my daughters life I will never forget! You left too soon! Heaven found a new angel!
