My Dear Auntie Kay,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. You will surely be missed, not only by all your nieces and nephews but you great neices and nephews as well. In our minds you will always be known as the Iron Claw, which obviously gives some one who didn’t know you the wrong impression. To those of us who knew and loved you we will always remember you as the loving and caring person that you were. You taught us many good things which helped make us the people we are today. You work is done here now and it’s is time for you to join your brothers, Mother and Father, and God in heaven. God Bless you Auntie.
