Dear Bill and Kelly,

We cannot tell you how much you have been in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sad for your loss. Kay helped me in so many ways. Of course she helped many of us with career decisions, but Kay helped me make the most important decisions of my life...the decisioin to spend more time with my family/children. For this, I thank her with all of my heart. Thank you for sharing her with us. God Bless you both.

Bill and Kelly - Kay had a profound and positive impact on all those she met. She was a leader, a coach, a friend. She instinctively knew how to make connections, and I feel fortunate to have been a part of her broad and supportive network of friends. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bill and Kelly

My heart goes out to both of you during this time. As you know Kay was a very special person in my life. She did so much to change the face of Abbott with her dedicaton and devotion to the business, but most importantly through her dedication to people. She truly made a difference in my life. My thoughts are with you during this time period.

Dear Bill,Kelly,Paul, and John,
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you every hour since we first learned that Kay was ill. They will always be present as we considered Kay our daughter too. Our main prayer now is that you will remember all the wonderful things Kay did and the happy times you shared. Knowing that she has been called home to be with her Lord, should bring you much comfort, and knowing God chose her to be with him at such a young age, should also make you proud. WE LOVE ALL OF OUR MEMORIES OF KAY, AND HOPE THAT YOU THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY, SHARE THEM WITH US. WITH MUCH LOVE TO YOU,
GRANDPA AND GRANDMA PEEL

Bill and Kelly

Your wife and your mother was a great leader and friend to so many people at Abbott around the world. She was a pioneer in the areas of engineering, manufacturing and quality. We will never forget the impact she had on Abbott, but more importantly on all the people she touched during her career. Her smile and laugh will be missed by all of us, but she will always be with us in our memories. Thank you for sharing Kay with us. Our prays and thoughts are with you.

My memories of Kay Ellen are of her at occasional family functions and her wedding. She and my late husband Wayne were cousins although he was much older. I'm sure, if he were here, he would have many fond memories.
My condolences to Bill, Kelly, John and Paul.
