Dear Doyle Family,

Our family used to live down the street from you on College Oaks many years ago. My name is Roz Kay and my husband is Casey Kay; he was a Captain for American Airlines. We have two daughters, Jennifer and Rachel.

We were so saddened to read about the passing of your dear wife, mother and grandmother. We have years of happy memories of all our kids playing together, your girls baby-sitting for us and my admiration for how your large family was so organized and made it all work out.

Please accept our deepest sympathy and our prayers for all of you at this sad time. God bless you all and God bless Betsy's soul.
