I’m so sorry to hear about Kaye’s passing. She was such a wonderful person and such a positive presence when I was growing up. She worked many years with my Mom at Broughton and was a big part of our lives. My thoughts and hopes go out to Dana, Tracy and the rest of the family. Rob Walker

Tracy - You and your family are in my prayers as you navigate this difficult time. You and Dana took such good care of your sweet Mom over these past few years…I know she was grateful for all that you did. She is whole again…pain free…fully restored and celebrating with your Dad. What a comfort to know that you will see them both again one day! With much love - Scott
Mrs Kaye Walker was an “adoptive” mom to me, as I befriended both her daughters in school. I was at their house on a regular basis throughout high school. I remained close with the family ever since. My heart is broken over this news. Rest In Piece Momma Walker….
Deepest sympathy.
