To all of the family. I have just been told of Kay's passing. She and the West family were a blessing in my younger days. Her creativity and love for the Lord was very inspiring. Always welcomed for chatt and a cuppa tea. God bless her memory forever. Gary Pitt

To Val & Family We were saddened to hear of Kaye's passing. I have very fond memories of our Kaponga School days and our activities playing at one another's place after school. You will be sadly missed Lorraine & Gerald McCormack

To Craig and family, Val, Dianne, Bryan and Erin, It was with great sadness I heard of Kaye's passing. It is a bit hard to find words. The first time I met Kaye was when she stepped on the school bus to go to Stratford High School, what a moment that was, when the boys stood up to offer her a seat! Indeed her beauty shone through from a lovely heart within. Over the years we had been in contact, at church, when living behind us at Julian Place and many other times. I will see her again when we meet in eternity. A big hug to you all. Much love Louise James (nee Kuriger)

We are very sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences for all the family.

It’s with a heavy heart that we had to say goodbye to our beloved Aunty Kaye. Her passing, though peaceful, came far too soon after her time in hospice. While we grieve, we also find comfort in knowing that she is now free from the pain and struggles she faced in the later stages of her life. Her devotion to her loved ones was unmatched. She showed up, she listened, she prayed, and she loved with her whole heart. We were blessed to be part of her world, and we will carry her memory with us always. Though we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the beautiful legacy she leaves behind — one of faith, love, and unwavering kindness. Rest peacefully, Aunty Kaye. You will never be forgotten.

Darling Kaye was a most beloved cousin. She really was a true Angel in every sense of the word and so very beautiful, and she definitely found her Angels in Craig and their boys and of course, her amazing family. I will always have such special memories. Sending you our sincere love. Judy, Bill, Tony,Lance and families.
