Pat and I were very sad to hear of the passing of our “Aunt Kay”. She always greeted us with a smile and a warm hug no matter how long the interval between visits. She was a beautiful soft spoken lady of many talents that included simply making one feel good when in her presence. She was a member in good standing of the “Greatest Generation” that is sadly evaporating before our eyes. We will miss her each day for all the love she bestowed on us, her family, and her friends. My eyes grow moist as I write. Phil and Pat Redenbarger
LOVE does not die. So, when all that’s left of me is love … give me away as best you can. You can love me most by letting your love reach out to loved ones. (From Poems Club) Larry, you have my sincere sympathy, Cheryl Buchanan
Danny, Larry and your families….so very sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a very beautiful woman inside and out and I know you will all miss her terribly. May God grant you all peace and love at this time and always. Vicki Vincent Penn
