I remember Kay -- She was a great friend of my aunt. They worked together for years at DGNB. She was so much fun to be around -- witty & fun loving. That's how I will remember her.

I remember Kay well as being such a
delightful person. I have a picture of
her taken with her good friend and mine
Annette Wall at my daughter's first
birthday party. I'm so sorry for your
loss.
Most sincerely, Barbara Gressett Maranto
