Trips to Chicago when we were kids were some of my best memories. My mother's relatives were all good people. We would stay by Bob and Kay's place and Kay was the best to us kids! She was a good and kind person to everyone. My prayers to the whole family. Gary D Simon

Sweet Auntie Kay . The first time I met her is when Mike brought me to her house when we were dating. (She was giving Mike a perm) From the first second I met her, I felt like I knew her forever. She just had that way about her that everyone was loved! She was so special! I wish Mike and I had made more of a point to see her when we came to IL. She was loved very much!

Dave & I extend our condolences for the loss of Kay. She was so sweet, generous & sincere. She embraced life & the people in her life. Eventhough we were miles apart & didn't see each other often, I will always remember the times we did share together. Dave & I pray for the family.
I am the sigh of the sea;
The laughter of the field;
The tears of heaven.
And so with love -
Sighs from the deep sea of
affection;
Laughter from the colourful
field of the spirit;
Tears from the endless heaven
of memories.
