Dillard, Kay was such a sweet woman. We had fond memories of you and Kay when we traveled together in Costa Rica. Remember how brave she was crossing that suspension bridge? Glad you were able to travel with her on another Caravan trip just before the pandemic. May you find comfort in the memory of her loving ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My name is Joe Brock of Collierville Tn. Kay was my 1st cousin once removed. Kay´s mother and my grandmother (Nen) were sisters. I am so sorry to hear about Kay. As a child and visiting the old family home I have many fond memories of all her brothers and sisters. Bo and Lloyd were such wonderful people, and they had such a beautiful loving family. I´m sorry to hear all the Oliphant children have passed on. Kay was always so sweet and she would let me ride her horse. I was closer in age to her. The entire family was loving, caring God loving people. My condolences to the family.
