Delcise Dare, my mom, went to West Tech High School in Cleveland with Kaye. Kaye was truly one if a kind. She lit up the screen on the "Doris Day Show" with her charming exuberance. Just a lovely lady.

My Mom lived in Cleveland Ohio. Went to school with her at West Tech. Remembered her.

We worked together. I wrote lyrics for your nightclub act Arthur Siegal was your accompaniest who composed the music to my lyrics. Either you or Arthur or both recommended me to BMI Musical Comedy Writers' Workshop where I was teamed with Ted Sidenberg conductor of "On A Clear Day..."

I was at Ocean City, Maryland in 1962 with my mother and aunt when they saw Ms. Ballard sitting on a towel at the beach. They told me to ask her for her autograph. I remember she took off her shoe and put the paper on the shoe so she could sign her name. I really didn't know who she was as I was only 7 years old at the time.

We're going to miss you so much. You were a great friend. We had a great time exercising at the old Buena health club and you convinced me to come and try your church for which I will always be grateful. Our sympathy goes to your family and friends who will miss you greatly but we look forward to seeing you again.

No words can express my sorrow, and all of her fans worldwide, in the passing of our dear Kaye Ballard. I loved you when I first saw your TV show "The Mother-in-Laws" back in the 1960´s.

I regret never seeing her perform in person in Palm Springs but hopefully I can give her a big Italian hug and...

My condolences on your loss and may God comfort you during this difficult time.
