Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” My dear Auntie Kay, you always made us feel full … full of loving goodness.
You passed your love onto all of us through every heavenly mouthful - your soft, airy cakes, your perfectly round, crunchy almond cookies, your savory dumplings aka “em-lem” so yum we kept reaching for more. And you made sure there was always more.
Auntie Kay, you always asked. You always asked how I was doing. You always reached out to put your hand on my arm. And you always smiled when I couldn’t find the right Chinese word. And then we’d laugh because it didn’t matter. You always made me feel connected to our family. I will miss you. May you rest in peace.
