Kay I'm going to miss your beautiful smile and your cheek RIP lovely lady to Marnie and family we will miss seeing you guys as well thank you for letting us take care of Kay ♥️
What a tribute family and friends paid to Kay today. A very moving service. Goodbye my old friend, neighbour, work colleague and inspiration. It was a privilege to have you in my life.
Well Kay, Carol and I have been ill so we couldn't make it to your service - which was a service filled with love as your life has been. You sure crammed a lot into 77 years. Rest now and enjoy catching up with a lot of old faces. You will be missed. Carol and Fin Torrance
Hi again, still me Eva said that I forgot to leave xoxo and asked me to do it. She said you’ll read it, you won’t be happy. Love you.
Our dearest and the only host mother, We’re really heartbroken to hear about your passing. I’m so glad Eva came back to New Zealand last year and got the chance to visit you, or she’d probably feel regretful. I’m also really thankful that I brought my baby to see you. We will always miss you and never forget all the love and care you gave us.
Dear Kay, I’ve known you since I was a little boy, about 5 years old, so you are really a big sister to me. You have always been a part of our lives and we have loved you as part of our family. We will miss you and your cheeky smile and great sense of humour. All our love always xxxx The Torrance family Australia

It has been a real pleasure to have met all of you over the time Kay has been with us. My love and thoughts are with you all. You will be missed Kay Kay
