Dear Jean, Don, Dorothy and the Lankin family,
My heart goes out to all of you in the loss of dear Kay. She was certainly a joy to have at Prince George Retirement Residence. She was a kind, and gentle soul and everyone loved her. Whenever I saw her coming down the hallway, I would always say “here comes the Queen.” She had such a royal, loving, and graceful presence about her, a lady full of class, and the cutest sense of humour. I will miss her so much and I will hold her in my memory forever. May God rest her soul.
Love, Anne Ballantyne

Dear Don, Dorothy, Jean Marie and families
Aunt Kay was a gracious and love filled person. Many of my memories as a child centred around our road trips to Lucan and in most cases ended up at Aunt Kay and Uncle Jack’s home with Jean Marie and I playing in the huge doll house outside.
The Good Lord blessed both she and my mom with good genes so that we could benefit from their loving presence for so long.
I am babysitting right now in Connectiut as both Allan and Charlotte are away and sorry I can’t be there with you to celebrate the end of the Revington siblings here on earth and a warm goodbye to a truly lovely lady
You will be in my thoughts and prayers
Love
Marie and Bill
