I'm so sorry to learn of Kay's passing. I grew up with Kay and went to the 1st ward and Stoker School with her. She always had a special grace about her, even as a little girl. I had so much respect for her, she was truly a beautiful person inside and out. I'm happy to know she had a wonderful family and her life was good. I'm sure you will miss your "Kay" and I know she is in a better place and will watch over all of you.
