Dear Glen & Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy for the passing of your beloved Kay. I use to look up Kay in the Pavilion Fair booth during Walla Walla Fair days just to say "Hi". She always had a smiling face & a warm greeting. Lorraine Rizzuti Toye/ St. Pat's (underclassman)

Kaye was such a special woman. She touched so many lives in so many ways. She treated everyone close to her like her own children. I am very thankful and honored for the years I knew her and time spent with her. She will be dearly missed. Heaven has gained an angel, we have lost a friend, but I know we will see her again.
God Bless you and keep you my dearest Kaye. I love you. ♡
