I can´t believe I just now found her obituary. She was my best friend ever. We had so much fun as kids. I was going through old photos and found one of her. It´s funny how we both named our daughter the same. Except my daughter is spelled with a C. Crystal Dawn. I´m so sad she´s gone. I tried to find her for years but didn´t know her married name.

May God surround the family with his love and strength during this time. Kay will always be remembered as a very dear childhood friend of mine. Her joy and laughter could always make my day. A beautiful called home.

Krystal, I remember Kay from school but one of my fondest memories is when she offered to take care of Matthew's arrangements in case I did not think I could get through it. I so appreciated that offer and although I felt it was something I needed to do, Kay showed then the angel she is. An angel on earth and now an angel in Heaven. She will be with you always. You have all my love. God Bless you and your family.
