My condolences go out to the Kays family I know she will be missed and it don't really get any easier but you just have to take it one day at a time. I met Kay about 2 years ago when I joined her bowling team on Mondays. She was one of the sweetest, and kind people I had the pleasure of knowing and bowling with. Even when I didn't do so well bowling she would always say to me you're doing very well and she said she was glad I was on her team. She was like a second mom to me. She will be missed very much and I will miss seeing her at the bowling alley. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Kay Stephens will be remembered as a nice, kind, caring and helpful person. She was a positive person and refrained from speaking ill of others. The world was a better world because of Kay's presence. She loved her family and spoke of them often. May God continue to bless her.
