I am so sorry to learn of Kaye’s passing. The last time I saw her was with Annette at church before COVID-19. I so admired her strength and enthusiasm that she lived with throughout her life including her times of illness. Kaye and Annette were both students of my Mother’s at Charles Ellis Elementary School, and Mother treasured their kindness to her during her retirement years at Tybee and within all church activities. I personally appreciated the love they showed to Mother during these years. Kaye was a beautiful person with such a kind soul. I pray that you will all treasure your happy memories of your times with her. I like to think that Mother has welcomed her with a big hug into heaven and they are enjoying singing in Heaven’s heavenly choir! With much sympathy and love,
