Kay was the most dedicated and caring teacher I have ever met. Her love for her students was contagious and inspirational. I am a better person from working with her and having her as a friend.

What I remember most about Kay was her beautiful smile and how much she liked to laugh. She was a lovely person inside and out.
Rest in peace, Kay.

Kay was an inspiration to so many people, her students, her colleagues at Hermitage Tech Center, and of course the ESL teachers in Henrico County. Just being around her made you a better person. She certainly left her footprints on this world!

If I could give you words today
To make the pain go away I would
If It makes you feel better to remember the good times you shared you should
The memories willl forever stay in your heart
And with that you will never be apart
