I always looked forward to seeing Kay at bridge. She was so cheerful. I admired her ability to continue substitute teaching and taking care of the school system computers. She will be missed.

I loved Ms. Kay and her joyful soul. I will cherish memories I have with her...and of course, my knitted booties in ASUMH blue and green!
