Donald,
Dad just told me he heard that Kay had passed. I am so sorry to hear she is gone. So many times in my life she was a voice of reason. I am sorry we haven't been in touch for so long. I still think of you both. Take care.
Love, Christine

Smiles and beautiful cakes is what I will always remember about Kay. I treasure the baby quilt she made for my first child nearly 15 years ago.

We will never forget our wallpaper emergency that Kay fixed for us. Between Kay's creativity and Donald's willingness to help the job got done quickly with expert results! We will miss Kay's many talents: cooking and baking, sewing and scrapbooking among them. But most of all we will miss Kay's hearty laugh and sense of humor.
St. Anne's has lost a wonderful neighbor.

Kay you were a breath of fresh air. Your glass was always full and so much fun to be around. I am so glad I was able to be considered one of your friends. Even though we only knew each other for a short time I felt that we had known each other for a life time. I know that you are now an angel in heaven watching over all of us. I will miss you sweet lady. Peggy
