Clyde, Crystal, and Todd,
I am saddened to learn of Kay's passing. I remember the good times we had in our potluck group before we moved to Texas.
Crystal, Chuck had his beautiful quarter horse for many years and rode him in parades in our town and in Ft. Worth. I remember how you lovingly helped to train that horse.
Kay's struggle on earth is over, and now she is in the presence of the Lord. One day we will be reunited with her. My deepest sympathy to your family!

My thoughts are with you and your family.
