Dear Gil,Pat, Karl & Deb,
I learned about Kay's passing this morning at work when the Alpine breakfast group came in for breakfast at Benson's. What a surprise!!! and shock!!!
My sympathies to all of you.
No one could ever replace Kay, her voice,her personality, HER. What a loss!
I always loved singing with her in choir at Alpine. She had a voice like no other and will now sing for the Lord in His choir of angels.
She will truly be missed. I am priviledged...

Mr. Okeson, Karl and Deb,
My condolences on the loss of Kay. What a gem she was. I will forever hear her singing Via Dolarosa in the moving way only she could deliver it. May peace find you and comfort you in its time, just as our Lord gave peace and comfort to Kay last week.
