Katherine Wren wrote a sympathy message

“Kay was my neighbor for years. She used to come over on the fourth of July when we lit fireworks off. We were fourth buddies. I told her I'd put her hair out if it caught on fire and she swore she'd do the same for me. I hope I'm half as cool and loveable as she was at any point in my life. She made everything that much better just by showing up. We miss you terribly, Kay. Love from the Wrens. 💛💛💛”
