Judi and family, we send our sincere sympathy to all of you. I have good memories of your Mom when we were growing up. Whenever I stopped by on the way to school your Mom always had your breakfast ready and it always smelled so good. She was always kind and helpful.
She lived long enough to see many great grandkids which is special
You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time.

I always looked forward to the frequent Sunday visits back on the farm. Beautiful lady with a wonderful heart and also a good cook as I recall. I looked at the photos and just spotted the car I used to look for
Coming down the road on many a Sunday afternoon.
All great memories!

My deepest sympathies to Aunt Kay’s family. It doesn’t matter if someone lives to be 105 – it is still not long enough for those left behind.
Deanna Beason
Aunt Kay was a very gracious and wise lady. I especially remember spending a week with the family every summer through my teens, and sleeping in the playhouse in the backyard. Although we talked all night and arose very late in the morning, Aunt Kay always had our breakfast waiting for us in the kitchen. Mom and Dad sure enjoyed spending time with her in later years. God bless you all, Judy, Kippy, Heather amd families.
Love and prayers, Deanna

So many wonderful childhood memories of shared Christmas’s and cousins full of love and caring. Weekends at the farm or by the fire in Exeter. Good stories about Andy and my dad as brothers living in Strathroy. Aunt Kay always knowing what was going on in the family. I feel lucky to have had her as an aunt.
