I'm sorry to hear of Aurelia's passing. She and Perry were regular attendees of our annual McKay Reunion in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where she was born. She will definitely be missed.

For many years Kay and Perry were faithful and loving friends to my mother, Mrs. Virginia Crain. I will always remember Kay's thoughtful and kind manner. "All her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace."

My mother and McKay were best friends at UVA's Nursing school. In July 1938, McKay had a date with my father, B. Ernest Wheeler, Jr. Nannie requested McKay's permission to date Ernest; she consented and the rest is history.

Your parents visited my mother in Middletown about ten years ago. My mother and I have been to visit your mother in recent years.
