Share your Memorial with Family & Friends

My heart is breaking my dear friend Kay. I will miss you and am so thankful Jen brought you to Florida so we could be together like old times. I love you and will always treasure our friendship.

My name is Will Rodgers. I was Kay's first born son who was adopted and raised in Chattanooga Tennessee. My brother Kevin called me yesterday and informed me of Kay's passing. Strangely enough, my wife and I both sensed that was the reason for the call. I was richly blessed that I got to meet Kay back in 2006 and her family. I was also fortunate enough to have met both my aunt Shirley Shields and my grandfather Pete Dottery when they were alive. I was also richly blessed that I got to visit Kay and husband Jerry for 11 years. But when I got married and moved back to Chattanooga, I never got the chance to go back again. I wanted to reach out to Kay and see her one last time. If I can't attend the funeral service, then I hope I can pay my last respects in the foreseeable future. But now, my heart breaks. I miss my mother, Kay, who was my Mama 2 and a close friend of mine who died before Thanksgiving and was a surrogate mother figure to me. My mother in law is the last motherly figure in my life at this time. My prayers go out to my brother and sister, Kevin and Jennifer and their families. I love you Kay (Mama 2). You will be sorely missed. 😞😞
