My mom always said and lived by "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all " I hope that I can follow her example.


To the DeHarde fmly.  My deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Heartfelt prayers  for all of you during this difficult  time.  I always remember how sweet your mom was...May God grant all of you peace and strength in the days ahead. May you be comforted with fond and happy memories.

Aunt Kay was a wonderful and caring person. As a child she would babysit me while my Mom and Dad would need to be at the hospital with my brother. I have many memories of staying at her house in Arabi as a child. I remember playing darts in the laundry room, jumping on the Pogo stick, and sitting under the tree out front.  As a kid I always loved that she had ice cream in the freezer and I loved the mint chocolate chip.  I would miss my Mom and Dad dearly as a kid when they would have to be other places, but she would always tell me that things would be alright and soon I would see them. I remember she would have Charle's Chips in a tin.   Red beans and rice was a favorite supper she would make for me and still to this day I remember it was the first time I saw someone put ketchup on beans and rice. I asked her why and she told me Herb used to eat them that way and I should try it so I did.  It was so much better with ketchup that I never forgot that and still to this day I will put ketchup on my beans and always think of that time as a child. When I would stay over as a child I slept on the pull out sofa bed in the living room and though it was not my own bed it was nice.  She would tuck me in and I would say my prayers and talk to God and my guardian angel and I would feel at peace. I did not know her Dad as a child but she cared for him there and always had a loving heart for people. There are so many things as a child we don't understand and things always  seem so simple and normal.  We don't quite understand all the good and bad things in the world around us. We will always have our memories and they will always be with us and we can always trust and pray to the Lord. I know she is in Heaven now and she would want for all of us to pray and serve the Lord in our lives as she did.  

Mrs. Kay was such a warm & special lady, so friendly to everyone. She was so devoted to St Louise de Marillac Church. Our deepest sympathy to her children & grandchildren. She served God well here on earth & is now reaping those rewards in heaven.

I was so blessed to have grown up next door to the DeHarde’s. Miss Kay taught me what was important in life. She was “LOVE!”  No matter what, if her kids needed her, she would stop whatever she was doing to listen to them.  Her children were so precious to her. I learned how to be a Mom. She taught by example. I have so many precious memories with Miss Kay. She always made you feel so special. We went crawfishing and caught 21 crawfish. Miss Kay stopped what she was doing and boiled them for us. She had a way of knowing  what was important to us. She invited us to dinner and cooked red beens and rice. She let us put mustard in our beens and that dinner, to me, was better than steak. (We weren’t allowed.)  When I saw her last, she rested her head against me and told me, “Good friends!”  I hugged her. Yes, Miss Kay, good friends. I love you, Miss Kay! ………Look around you, Miss Kay, for great is your reward……Thank you for giving to the Lord!

Aunt Kay was a dear, sweet person, 
always kind and loving. I remember her coming to visit us with my Mama in Morgan City after we adopted our son David. She enjoyed holding and rocking him. What a sweet memory!  I am so sorry to miss Aunt Kay's funeral. My husband is in his 6th year of early-onset Alzheimer's, which makes it hard to go out of town. I will be there in spirit, and I am holding all of you close in prayer.
Love,
Nan (Bentel Wall)
