Miss k was always the life of the party and also the cook for the party , miss k sure loved her family it was evident in every thing she did , miss k would call it like she seen it which i really respected I guess that was the Brooklyn in her. I would go the beach every year with the whole family and when her grand kids where in the water miss k would stand with her feet in the water and hands on hips Making sure her grandkids were safe . RIP miss K

My grandma was such an incredible woman. She loved everyone in our family so much, and brought all of us so much joy. She had such a warm presence and made everyone feel so safe and loved. She taught me so many life lessons, and helped me discover so many of my passions and hobbies. My cousins and I were so fortunate to grow up with someone as wonderful as her as our grandma, and we all have such wonderful memories with her to keep her legacy alive.
