It is an honor to have had Kay chosen to be my Godmother. She taught me so much through the years and was an inspiration to my wife Sara. We will miss her wisdom and long talks. Thank you Kay.

I knew Kay in the late 70's through 80's and early 90's. What a great sense of humor, great energy and hard work she bestowed on everyone she met. She made an everlasting impact on me. I wish her family my love in her loss.
Sincerely, Suzan Schantel
