Not sure what to say?

To the entire Gottschalk Family goes my deepest sympathy for your loss. Your Mom was a special person to many and I especially appreciated how she took me into the "family" over the years. She will be greatly missed and mourned.

My prays and love are with you. Kay was a Very Special Lady. She welcomed me into her home and made me part of the family. I have many happy memories of times spent with her. She is happy now in Gods care.

Patty and family,

Know that we are thinking of you all through this hard time and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family, M-H. We are thinking of you.

Uncle Charlie, Mary-Helen, Kathleen, Patricia, Ann and Daniel - it is with great love and sorrow for your loss that I write these condolenses. My mother, siblings and their families sends their love as well. Aunt Kay was a gem, and I will always hold dear in my heart hearing her laugh and laugh the last time I was with her. We are here to offer anything we can to help you through this time. Remember, the sun shines just a little brighter, and the moon has a brighter luster because she is...

It was with great sadness that I read of Kay's passing. I worked with her for many years at School #17. There are so many fond and funny memories of her: the Halloween costumes, her willingness to always help out, and how, during a blizzard, we would call her from the third floor and ask her to call the Superintendent's office to announce it was snowing and suggest that schools should be closed. That was the one thing she refused to do! She was a great lady and will be deeply missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
