I worked with Kay for many years. She was the sweetest and most caring woman. I loved her laugh and smile, even through the stressful times. We had daily talks, many phone calls and she always loved hearing stories of concert antics from the night before. To Kay's family, I am deeply saddened by your loss. I wish you comfort in the difficult times ahead.
