Coach Lingruen and family and the Palte family of Columbus Grove:
I was deeply saddened to learn of Kaye's passing this morning (3/25/13). I was a good friend of Kaye's growing up in Putnam County in my 20's. I became an even closer friend during my years as a superintendent at LC (1994-2005). My sympathies go out to the family and especially Coach Lingruen. You have been in my prayers for the past year and will continue to be in my prayers. Kaye and I had a nice visit a couple months ago when she was doing better. I will cherish that 1 hour chat we had together.
