Dear Fred, Tracy and family,

You all know how dear and precious Kay was to us and we will miss her smile, her gentleness, and her love more than words can ever express. She fought the fight with dignity and courage and she did it for all of us. What an angel she was. Now she is at peace and no longer has to fight the battle.

May God bless you all and help you through your journey of healing. In time your hearts will heal, then comes the sweet memories that we all hold so dear to hearts.

With Sincerest Sympathy and Deepest Love to All,

John and Marilyn Hanson
