Kay was a dear friend of my grandparents and we used to visit her and Howie quite often when were in town, when I was little. I have really fond memories of Kay -- her zest for life, her ready laugh, her devotion to family, her genuine affection and kindness. Kay was a terrific lady and I am so glad to have known her. My thoughts and prayers go to her children, John and Debbie, and her close friends the Williams family. xoxoxo

Kaytie was my dearest and best friend in the whole world. Our greatest joy was watching our children grow and party at eachother's home... we had many and TONS of fun. Christmas and the 4th of July head the top o the list as our favorite... since everyone in the country celebrates my son Michael's b'day July 4th it was easy to have chosen that as 1 of our best party times... especially in the early 60's when we would be finding bodies in my back yard the next day (still celebrating? or overly consumption of liquids?? lol!) Kaytie had great parties, was the best hostess and was MRS HOSPITALITY of every occasion!! I love and miss you so much Kaytie Antoinette. Roz xoxo

I have so many pleasant memories of my Godmother Kaytie from my childhood and beyond. As a kid I always enjoyed sleding down her backyard which was a giant hill. She was so happy to point out the holly tree my Dad gave her with all its red berrys in the winter as well as her favorite dogwood tree that would blossom every spring. Her back porch was always so cool to me with all the sea shells and clams etc. It was her pride and joy to share every new piece that she got from the beach especially her sea glass collection. I was so happy when she finally made it out here to Az. with Deb to spend time with me and my family. It was such a pleasure to have her out here. It was awesome adventure that I will never forget. Although she is in heaven with her one and only love Howie....she will remain in my heart forever.
