"The best memories I have of Kaye is how we use to dance. She was the only person I ever could dance to the 50?s and 60?s music to. Also when I visited her at Rosalia she was listening to music and she was tapping her toes. I told her how we use to dance and she asked if I wanted to dance. So we danced. She loved music and she would tap her toes as she walked into her room. I?m sure she?s dancing now. "
"To Myron and family I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of my life long friend. As hard as it is for us, I am so happy for her. We lost her years ago but now she can walk in the light again. My prayers are with all of you. "
