Dear Aunt Kay,
You have been a great inspiration to me from the time I was a child. Your involvement in your church and your love of flowers moved me to lead the floral ministries program at my own church. Your civic commitment encouraged my interest in volunteerism. Together we both found a joy and passion in our love for travel. I only wish that the number of miles between us wasn’t so great as I would have loved to have been able to spend time with you throughout the years as our visits were too few. I loved corresponding with you over the years. I am blessed to be your niece. I know that you are together again with Uncle Lynn and have been welcomed into God’s heavenly kingdom with open arms. Rest in peace +. Love, Phyllis Wilson (Stamford, CT)
Goodbye my friend. You will be greatly missed. I enjoyed working for and with you and our conversations brought me much joy as i hope and believe they did for you. I am glad you are at home with God. Rest in peace. Love Your Friend, Teresa Harrison
