Oh my heaven. Kaye had told me that she was no longer going to be on FB. We spoke a time or two after. My husband and I met Rick and Kaye in Kingwood and hugged, took photos together, and were so happy to meet Heidi Cruz. Then this! Dear Rick and Kaye's family were are so sorry for your loss. My heart is so sad. We pray for your peace in knowing that our angel Kaye is watching over you. Know that such a beautiful lady will be there to greet you when you go home too. Blessings dear family.

I am so sad sorry to hear that Kaye has left us all, but rejoicing that she has flown to her Heavenly Lord and parents in Heaven. God bless you all. I did not know she was ill. In the past struggles, she had been so brave and resolute in her faith in God to be with her, strengthen her, and help her in all things. She was an ideal to measure ourselves and our own faith alongside. May the Lord reward her greatly for her gifts and legacy.

I loved your Mom so much. We called each other Sis. She was on my heart Wednesday and I text her and thanked her for all she's done for others. Usually she responds pretty fast. I heard the next morning that she had passed away. I was so sorry to hear the news. Praying for you all.

My prayers are with your family. Kaye understood a calling to holy living. She was an inspiration to many with her Paleo foods and her conservative politics and her passion to live a life that made a difference for the kingdom of heaven. My early memories are playing the piano together and watching the Monkees on Saturday mornings after a sleep over. Kaye was passionate about so many things. Her love for Jesus ranked at the top of the list. I know she is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord. She will be missed.

Knowing how much Kaye loved the Lord, we cannot regret that she is with Him now, but, oh, how we will miss her, and we grieve for the pain Rick and the rest of her family will feel from missing her physical presence. Kaye set an example for us all on how to live spirit-filled lives, and it is a legacy that will live on and on. We have no doubt that the last few years she had with us all were due to her diligence to treat her body with the respect and care that God has taught us to do, and we are grateful for the extra time we had with her because of her determination to live a healthy life, both spiritually and physically. Her bright smile and infectious laugh will brighten heaven even more. We will see you again someday, sweetie, and, until then, we will pray for your family to let God's sweet comfort wrap them in peace and reassurance that your death was just a step through to God's kingdom where God's children will join her someday.
