Kay was a wonderful addition to our family. She allowed my father's last years to be very full, both with love and companionship. They travelled extensively while my father's health was still good. That meant a lot to my father- he enjoyed that so much. The last time I saw Kay was at my nephew, Andrew's wedding, in 8/08. Kay was such an enjoyable and gracious person to be around. She was also the only grandmother my son, Mark, knew. She was truly a member of our family and she will be greatly missed. I want to express our deepest sympathies to Kay's daughter, Joanne, and her son, Donald.
