Our deepest sympathy to the Delaney family.Kay was a wonderful summer neighbor on Teal Circle. We enjoyed her warm, caring, personality and our many talks over the fence. She will be missed greatly.

My husband, John (Put) Putnam was a classmate of Kay. Whenever we were with friends, Put always introduced Kay as the,most brilliant woman in the Class of 1942. Pete and Kay became loving and giving friends to us and many of their friends. I shall miss Kay.

Mrs.D will be missed very much in my family.She was like a grandmother to me and she was always there for me. I am very sad. Mrs.D always had sweet treats for me hidden in a green bowl !And she always thought of me on holidays and gave me cool presents from the thrift shop she volunteered at. I would bring her groceries on my scooter, and she would wave and smile as I scootered away. She was very nice to me and I love her. She is know an angel with her husband watching over me! Love Grace xoxoxoxoxox
