Aunt Kay:
It’s been 4 months since you have passed. Sometimes it just doesn’t seem possible. I find myself still picking up the phone or wanting to facebook you about Kimberly having her 1st baby. I know you would of been excited and happy for her.
My Mom and I miss you terribly, I can’t imagine how tough it is for my
Mom because she always spoke to you, at least once a week, I know she misses you terribly and is having a tough time with it. She always felt like you were a sister to her, not a sister-in-law.
We love you Aunt Kay and miss you. Tell my Dad we said Hi and we Love him. When you see Michael, tell him the same.
May you now reset in peach pain free and fly like an angel.
Dance with my Dad, he would really love that.
Love Sue and Carmella.

I met Kay at the Boston Higashi School, and it was a true delight to chat with her when I picked “my” Andrea up on Fridays. She would tell me about ” her ” Andrea and the rest of her family. I loved her upbeat, tell it like it is attitude. I am grateful for her friendship and the kindness she showed my daughter by saving her magazines for the ride home. She made that Friday pick up and drive special for both of us.
With sympathy,
