So very sorry to hear of Kay's passing. We were your neighbors in LFP (over the fence and down the rockery) and enjoyed many hrs. talking with Kay over that fence. Kept in touch after she left the park but once we also left, lost track of her and your family. She was a fun neighbor to all of us. May God bless all of you.

Kay was my receptionist, gatekeeper and most of all, a very good friend. Peace to your family and God Bless you, Kay.

So sorry to learn of the passing of your dear mother. Although I hadn't seen Kay in years, we were next door neighbors in the North End when we were both having and raising our young children. Kay had the most beautiful smile and a laugh that I still remember. She was a bit older than me, and definitely wiser, and always had warm words of advice and encouragement. Condolences to Stuart, John, Laurie and Sue Ellen. I still remember all the times you shared play time with my girls. May your dear mother rest in peace, and may you be comforted in your loss. With warm regards, Pat (O'Brien) Slusser
