Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your family's loss Mike.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Woolcock family. Kay's beautiful smile and laughter will be greatly missed, by all who knew her. In addition to working with Kay, at the Galena MICRO SWITCH plant, Marlene and I truly enjoyed getting together with Ed, Kay and Mark & Linda Willy, for dinners and stories, of great times had, both inside and outside of work. Kay was a mischievous jokester, who loved to make people laugh, but she was also a thoughtful and caring person and we feel so...

We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for all of you during the difficult time.

Kay was a good friend. Until recently she would email me now and then of information about our 1957 classmates. I use email and not Facebook so I'll miss that info.
Sure trust the Lord grants her family and friends many happy memories of Kay. Keith and Marlene Eipper---of Parker Colorado.

My condolences to your family. Kay always had a smile for everyone.

Kay and Ed were the best of friends for many years, Always enjoyed their company and the memories created on numerious occasions. My condolences to the family. Very proud to have had them as close friends.

My heartfelt condolences to the Woolcock family. I worked with Kay for many years at the MicroSwitch Galena plant, where Kay was often regarded as the matriarch of the plant. She always made people feel like they could come to her for anything. She was so much fun to work with. You have my deepest sympathy. ❤

Kay always had a kind word and a beautiful smile. She was a lovely woman I am thankful to have known.
