To All:
I just learned of Kay's passing and am deeply saddened and I am truly sorry that Ann and I were not there to pay our respects to a person we deeply loved and respected. Our deepest sympathies go out to everybody and we remember the great friendship that endured over the years between our parents. Our prayers are with her and you.

We were priviledged to work with Kay at Travelers. She was true professional and our friend. A self-made person, she earned the respect and love of her agents and her fellow employees. She treated everyone with respect and was a true role model who inspired many who worked with her.

Our thought and prays are with Kay and her family.

Dearest Leah and Larry,
My deepest sympathy on the death of your mother/mother-in-law. The loss of a parent is a great burden and cuts that final invisible cord. Please know that while you grieve today,
your mom will remain in your heart, mind and spirit forever. Those who knew her and loved her will continue to see her in you and your family so, in a sense, she is never truly gone.
I'll pray that God will comfort you all as he joyously welcomes her into his loving embrace.
Love, Roz Cuschera

I remember meeting Kaye as I joined the McPhee family & she was such a vibrant/sharp woman. She always put Family first. Huck remembers her buying him his first pair of Ice Skates/a treasured memory. I remember her always being the 1st one to send Paul a birthday card as they shared the same birthdate, October 11th. I can still remember a wonderful "Spinning Top" she gave to Paul as a gift. Kaye always was held in the highest regards by those who had the privledge to know & love her. May she be at peace. Love, Cathy, Huck, Paul & Cathybelle

Aunt Kay gave me the best advice on becoming a policeman's wife. She told me to "always give him a kiss before work and not to worry". It was the best advice. Jack worked 23 years as a police officer and is now happily retired!
