I always loved Kaye. She was my boss when I worked at the day care. Kaye was smart and funny and always was making me laugh. I loved how she loved children and God. I will truly miss seeing Kaye
God bless her family.

I remember "Mrs. Kaye" as the daycare director at West Memphis Christian. I can still see her sitting in her office with her elf ears on. That was so many years ago but I still remember her to this day. She was a wonderful and fun woman.
I pray God grant the family peace and comfort that only he can provide.
God bless.
