Sharing Memories

The little girl is gone ... to a heavenly place of peace and joyful reunion with loved ones.  Youngest of eight Hinckley children, Kay is still thought of as the "baby" of her loving family.  We shed tears of love for her, knowing how happy and exuberant she is now; ("filled with or characterized by a lively energy and excitement.")

As a neighbor, I knew and always admired her parents, but did not pay attention to their "baby girl" until after their family mission and mine.  Missionary service for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a fitting, life-changing interlude for Kay and me, living separate lives with shared values and interests.

Yes, I confessed to "robbing the cradle" by marrying one so young, born years after I came into the world.  Through all the good times and difficulties, it has truly been a wonderful life!
And it goes on ... with love
