To Kay's dear family,
Kay was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. She always had an encouraging word and could talk to us about anything. Words can't describe how much we loved her and how much we will miss her smile. She was always thinking of others and showed God's love in everything she did. I know this is not goodbye. We will see her again! We are so blessed to have called her our friend. Our prayers and love to all of you. May God give you peace and grace during this time of grief.
