Patsy, we are thinking of you. The stories you have shared about your mother should make you proud of how devoted she was to her family. We both have tremendous admiration for her and see these traits in you as well. You are a great friend and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

I have known Kay for many years and was her Fuller Brush customer during that time. Everything said about her in the Transcript is absolutely true. She was a very loving Mother, always thinking about her family. I have thought about her many times during these past years and am happy she is in the Lord's hands now. You, her family, have lost a devoted Mother and friend but can celebrate the wonderful memories of her life. I am sad in her passing. The photo is lovely. She was always dressed nicely and kept her
hair so pretty. She has been in my thoughts but will not soon be forgotten.
