So sorry to learn of Kay´s passing. I knew Kay from Schaumburg school where her children attended. We often met at Kevins to get our hair done. She was a very beautiful person to talk with. I will keep Kay in prayer

I have very fond memories of working with "Kay" for many years. May she Rest In Peace, and may her memories help her family through this difficult time.
