I have missed your Mom so much during the years that she has been sick and now we all have to accept she is really gone. She was such a role model to me. I really miss her more when it comes camping time and singing songs. The two of us would go to Camp Darden, a week or so in advance, and check out the camp and decide who was going to be put where. She was always the life of the fire circle with the ton of songs she knew. And at least she could sing, I can't. She really loved all of you girls, and we spent many hours talking about you. I loved hearing all the stories about the earlier years, too, when she was a single Mom. Her legacy will always be at Camp Darden and I am going to plant something there, in her memory, when I go in November. This year has been real hard for me because I lost two to the biggest role models in my life - my Dad and your Mom. Love to you all,
Ms Kay
