Kay, you’ve been a dear friend since you first met Doug (my best friend all through school). Sally and I were there in Gloversville, NY when you had your first child, also Doug. I was so sorry when you told me you were sick and extremely saddened when Doug Jr. called about your passing. It is my belief that my dear Sally and I will meet you again. Love and God bless.
My favorite memory of my Aunt Kay is when I was 13 or 14 years old. It was summertime, and we were all in Gloversville visiting my grandparents. Aunt Kay used to curl her hair with big plastic rollers. One evening she put my hair in those big plastic rollers and showed me the proper way to file my nails! I was in heaven! To this day, I think of her when I do my nails. <3
Thinking of you all. Love to the Jinks family.
Thoughts and prayers to the Jinks family.
I am so very sorry. I so enjoyed getting to know your Mom the times that we were together in California and Williamsburg. She was a great, fun lady. Love from your other Mom.
