My condolences to all the family.

Kay was such a hoot to be around. Although I was around her a very short time, she left a lasting impression. I loved her wit and devil may care attitude. All these years I told her I would find her a bag of 3 dollar bills, but alas, it was as illusive as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I will think of her very time I see a rainbow.
