She was one of the most lovely and caring lady. Never complained and was always interested in what you had to say. I have a recipe from her and will always remember her when I make it. She and Bea were best friends and had a long history with the bank.
She will be missed.

Aunt Kay was lovely. I had no idea her middle name was Grace, but it describes her perfectly. Kevin, Ian and I have lovely memories of dinners at her house, Christmas treats, with the 12 days of Christmas tablecloth on the table. Her kindness to Nora after Mel's passing, and the door jamb with all the height markings on it. Kevin has a wealth of happy memories to choose from, and I hope all the good times will sustain Julie and David, and the rest of the family at this time.

We are better for having had Aunt Kay in our lives, and she will be missed.

Dear Julie and David
I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. What a great lady. I loved having tea with her and Aunt Bea, listening to their laughter and their banking stories. They were two extraordinary bright women, who were trail blazers for those who followed. I am sure she will be great loss to you as she filled such a space.
Hope you have time for your memories. I will have a cup a tea during the ceremony and reflect on a life well lived.
