Jim, Jeff, Alyssa and Brayden,

I am so sorry to hear of Kay's untimely passing. I remember the days of our involvement with the N.Y.2 chapter of the Blue Star Mother's with such fondness. Kay kept the group together. We accomplished so many different things with her leadership. I sit here today and recall the complete camaraderie we had as a group. She made the hard times we all experienced while our children were off on deployments so much easier to bear.

Know that you are all in my thoughts at this sad time.

Sincerely, with love,
Gerri Roth
