Kay was a very dear friend of mine with what seems like forever. It is heartbreaking to hear of her passing. Kay always had a sweet smile on her face and was always soft spoken and kind. We had so much fun in High School , going to church together , double dating , exchanging clothes, and fun stuff that teens do. Though I moved away after getting married, we always managed to see each other from time to time and always kept in touch. My love goes out to Jim and family who were so fortunate to have such a beautiful person in their lives. Prayers for the family always.
