I remember when me and Kay were in science whenever our teacher said something funny or stupid we would just look at each other and start laughing quietlyit was so much fun having her around and whenever someone sat in her seat in science I would get angry inside but I know now to let it go and just have the memory of her warmth and silliness in my mind.

I barely knew her, but I did from afar. I thought she was cool and I envied her for being confident. My friend texted me and told me what happened, i felt like everything i looked up to shattered. Everytime i realize she´s actually gone i break down. She talked to me like 5 times but i miss her

To Matt, Michelle, Thomas and family. We share your pain at this terribly sad time. Kay will forever be "our Little Missy". Always greeting me with a big hug and a story to tell.
She was so very special to both of us and brightened our lives each time she knocked on our door. No words can convey the loss we feel.

To Michelle, Thomas, and the entire family, Kay was an amazing person. She was a great friend to me and everyone around her. She always brightened the mood and came to school with a smile on her face. She always made me feel better and she always did her best to help me anytime I needed it. Kay will always hold a very special place in my heart and mind. She will never be forgotten and she will always be missed.
My deepest condolences,
Mary Margaret

To Michelle, Thomas and the entire family, I am so shocked and saddened to see the obituary for Kay. I am devastated as you must be to lose such a lovely child so young. I met Kay only a few times, yet she made a lasting impression on me as did Thomas and Michelle. You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
