Kay Sweetland Bower

Thank you for sending this beautiful, touching, informative description of Kay. She was a treasure! I so deeply miss her music, creativity and friendship that was beautifully expressed in her playing the piano for the Sacred Dance class at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral She is deeply missed. Blessings of comfort, Jane Rickenbaugh .

My name is Beverly Vehrs Roberts and I'm a family friend with the Sweetland family (Norma). Norma ask that I accompany her to the memorial as Dale can not make the trip. Could I please have the memorial information such as location and time etc?
I'm very sorry for your loss. I loved Kay very much. She was our next door neighbor, babysitter and friend when I was a child. She let me hang out with her in her room and let me play the bongos, her accordion and introduced me to rock and roll!...

We would like to attend Kay's Memorial service and would like details about that. Our deepest condolences. Kay and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kay brought such music and joy to our Sacred Dance classes at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. She created beautiful music for our sacred dances and walking meditations on the Trinity labyrinth. Her artistic vision also helped create our sacred, beautiful surroundings for our classes. Kay was a delightful gift to all of us. We have missed her joy and creativity and send blessings to her family and dear friends.

Kay was a close friend for nearly her entire life and mine as well. Her father Elliot and mine, Alfred Greathouse, were business partners in the music business in downtown Portland for many years. We enjoyed each other's company over the years playing accordions together and getting together with our families for much of our lives. After my wife Helena and I started our own music business called "Greathouse of Music", Kay helped us organize some of our shows, selected many of our costumes...
