Not sure what to say?

To the entire Swanson family,
We just heard of the death of your wife and mother from Al Reinink. He was our builder and your mother and father came to see our house in Irons so Al could put knotty pine in their cabin in Luther.So sorry and accept our sympathy.

Dear Rich: Was so sorry to hear of Kays passing. Was a joy to work with her at Bingo. She will be greatly missed. A former neighbor of yours and always your friend. We will be home from AZ in May. Hope to see you then Rich.

It was always a good day when Kay stopped into the office at Matthews and Assoc. She always had a happy face and full of pep!! I will miss her. Remembering all of you in my prayers at this difficult time.

Val, I am sorry to hear about your Mother. It is has been a lot of years since I have seen you I know that this is a difficult time for your Family. My Heart goes out to you all

Val, sorry to hear about your Mom it has been many years since we have actually seen each other. I know this is a hard time for your whole family and my heart goes out to you all.

Some of my earliest memories have Kay in them...church activities, hair cuts, she and my mom planning church events or at fellowship meetings while Suzie and I played. Kay was always a trail-blazer, the first to volunteer, to lend a hand, to stand up for what she believed was right no matter who stood beside her. When I think of Kay, I think of her ready grin, her sparkling eyes, her passion for life, her love for others, her no-nonsense attitude and her sense of humor. She was always ready...

Dear Swanson Family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Kay was so admired and respected in the community it will leave a huge void in many hearts. Your Friend, Debi Church

I have been out the area for so many years now but of course Kay popped in when Dad passed away to liven things up a bit. Just like old times. Big smile, good stories for sure. She will be missed. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Richard and Family,
I will remember Kay with fondness. She had the ability to make the ordinary special. May your memories be filled with favorite stories, both funny and sad and may your mind wander the paths of your life with her, reliving the joys and the good times you've had. Kay's spirit will remain near, and as you celebrate her life may it be sweet proof of the promise that love will live on. My sincerest sympathy to you, your children and grandchildren...Dianne
