Kaye was always cheerful and smiling, facing her health problems with grace and dignity. She was fun to be with, and gracious and kind. Shall miss her humour and stories, as will many others. It was, indeed, a privilege to know her and to spend time with her, and she’ll be greatly missed.
Gordon and Bernice Gross
Sending my condolences to the Allen family on the passing of Kaye. Although our paths have not crossed for many years, I do have fond childhood memories of Lorne and Jean Allen and their children visiting my grandparents, the Tolls, at Auburn. Lots of good old time fiddle music, laughter, and fellowship when we were together. The evening was never complete until “Maple Sugar” my grandfather’s favourite, was played one more time!
May the wonderful memories of Kaye , and the love and support of family and friends, be comforting to you at this time.
Sincerely
Bernice Gross

My sympathy to Kaye’s relatives and friends. We met a couple of years ago when I came to live at Amica London. She always had such a positive, optimistic outlook on life in spite of her health struggles. Rest in Peace Kaye.

Aunt Kaye and Uncle Ken meant so much to me and my siblings. They were fun, could tell great stories and down to earth. There was not many years in age with some of us so they were like siblings to me. I know Kaye was really missing Ken in the few weeks before she passed. Now they are together, May God Bless them both.
