    If flowers grow in heaven,
    Lord, then pick a bunch for me.
    Then place them in my grandmother’s arms
    and tell her they’re from me.
    Tell her that I love and miss her
    and when she turns to smile,
    place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
    Because remembering her is easy,
    I do it every day,
    but there’s an ache within my heart
    that will never go away.

  4. Kay I didn’t know you long but have fond memories of you at our meetings and having a drink together. I will always remember your beautiful smile and that giggle you had. R.I.P. Kay you will be missed by many.

    RIP Kay, you were my mentor at the Eagles and gave me the kick in the pants I needed to achieve so many things while I was in each of my officer positions in the Auxillary. You told me many times I was the best Madam President you had known, and my friend you were a huge part of that. I will miss you so much. Tell we meet again.
