Not sure what to say?

Still remember all of the great times I had with you and your mom. So hard to forget.

Condolences to you and your family at this sad time. Kay was quite a gal as noted by us at K College who came in contact with her. Kay was easy with a warm smile.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Kay Stratton. During my years at Kalamazoo College, we used to call her the Iron Lady out of respect as she had a productive way to keep us all in line. I have admired her work ethic and professional attitude as she "reigned" in Mandelle hall at "K" over several presidents and provosts. And her chuckle and laugh were contagious.

I was pleased to know your mother, Michele. She was a classy lady. She also had a very devoted daughter! You're in my thoughts.

So sorry for your loss. She lived a long life.

Though it's been many years, I will never forget Kay's energy and infectious laugh. She was a favorite among my parent's friends. Peace to you.

Michele, so sorry to read of your loss. So difficult to loose moms. Wish I were closer to give you a big hug.
