(Bede) Sienkiewich, Snohomish, WA; two grandsons; and sibling Jim Wright, Saugus, CA.

Kay El was a loving tennis partner and friend from the time she moved with her dear husband, Lynn, to Wenatchee. We shared so many fun times. Kay El was always positive, sportsmanlike, giving, so proud of her children and grandchildren. I miss her every day. Hugs to her friends and family that share my grief in losing her. Karla Winston

Your mother was taken from us too soon. She was my USTA partner for the last three years, and I really don't know what I am going to do without her. She was such a pleasant and caring person and even in her last days when I spoke with her, she asked about my grandson and mother. She had more courage than most people I know, and silently and lovingly endured your father's illness as well as her own. My heart still aches for her. I will miss her terribly! Donnas Starkweather
