Kay was such a lovely woman of God and an example of His love. How wonderfully she played the piano! I thank God for women like Kay who I knew as a young Christian. My sympathy to Don and Kay's family.

We know Kay is rejoicing with our Savior and is most likely playing praise songs on the piano. Don, our prayers are with you at this time. With love, Chuck and Lynn Lusk
