Beth said it well .. The gang is slowly being reunited in heaven...Kay was a blessing to our family... so glad we got to share in her life. I remember being at a horse race with Kay getting ice cream when her horse won! As owner she had to hurry to winners circle for photos. Kay was sweet and let us join in. Prayers for you Tammy and family... may god wrap his loving arms around you and guide you through these difficult days. Much love.

I know she will be missed here on earth, but she has a great big group of family waiting for in heaven. The days we spent on the mountain are very fond memories.

Loved the times we had playing in the barn and in the hills at Uncle Chuck's Aunt Kays and family when we were kids.
