Sincere condolences to David, Kris and Kyle and to Uncle Dale and Aunt Judy who loved Kay so much. My cousin was such a kind person, I will always have fond memories of her. She had a big cat when we were kids that she taught to do a somersault.Likewise she had people who loved her willing to do gladly do the same. It helps to think about Kay being with Uncle Norm and Aunt Thelma and our wonderful, kind Gramma.RIP, dear cousin.

Kris,I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a strong woman who was the core of the family. You use to talk about her so much with love. Stay close to your family and help them get through this. They in turn will help you. I love you honey and keep your faith.

I grew up with Kay. Her family lived one street over from our family and we could see her yard from our backyard. Since my family had the newspaper route in the neighborhood I got to meet with her parents frequently.
Kay was the same age as my older brother with me being 3 years younger. She was always a joy to be with in those early years. She will always be in my memories. God has added a very special Angel.
