I enjoyed Kay so much! She was such wonderful company. I worked with her often over the years and I looked forward to the days I had meetings with the Town of Southport assessor. We usually made time for lunch where we had the opportunity to discuss her family and the latest cat she was trying to befriend. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and incredibly supportive of her friends. I am blessed to have known Kay. I won't forget her.
My deepest sympathy to her wonderful family.
