In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you into myself; that were I am there ye may be also. John 14: 2-5

Kay was a very kind hearted person. She can be best described as one who cared about others. She was a faithful member of Rowe & Kendrick Cancer Foundation during our existence.
Kay will be missed dearly. Our sincere condolences are with her son and the entire family.

Mrs. Kay was a wonderful friend. I loved her sweet spirit and her love of God. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She will be missed but I know she is celebrating with our Savior Jesus Christ. Sing with the angels Mrs. Kay.

We used to go out to dinner every single Friday before Covid hit, and one time when Jaden was young, we picked Ma up and she said to him, "Hey boo!" Jaden responded, "I not boo, I Jaden." That cracked us up and she would bring it up all the time, even years later and we´d laugh about it. I can still hear her laugh.
