To Felix and family:
I am sorry to hear of Kay’s unexpected passing. Dinner parties at your sister Elaine’s house are treasured memories. They allowed cousins to stay in touch. Kay was my margarita drink companion and we shared some giggles. She was a very pleasing person to converse with and she was certainly proud of her family. Kay appreciated Felix and spoke of their amazing life adventures he provided. She certainly was blessed with a satisfied happy life. I am glad to have known her.
May Kay be at peace with our Lord in Heaven. Our deepest condolences to Felix and Family for Kay’s loss. May our Lord give you strength and comfort in this time of loss.
