Not sure what to say?

My sympathies to Kay´s family. Kay was a wonderful, kind and considerate woman. We were married for 12 years and she was the love of my life. Kay loved the outdoors - hiking in the high country, National Parks, cycling, traveling and rock climbing. She was a poet and had several of her poems published. Her love of animals led her to becoming a dog trainer - she loved Scottish Terriers. I miss Kay - her smile and dry sense of humor stay with me. Rest in peace sweet heart. Always, John
