Kay was such a warm and wonderful person who always looked after the park business and the staff. She was a petit lady but big in her stature. Pat and I had the opportunity to continue our friendship with Kay during a couple of visits to San Diego and with Christmas cards. She always had a smile in her heart and we will miss her.
