Kay was the best Sister-in-law anyone could ask for. She will be truly missed by anyone who had the good fortune of meeting her. She had that special gift to help others without needing to be asked, she just knew you needed it. Rest in Peace my friend and may the family find comfort in remembering the gift you were.
