"My heart aches and I want to express my sympathy to the family. Kay loved her family so very much and they treated her like royalty. She was a kind caring person to everyone and I will miss our lunches together periodically. We both worked in the school for many years but she was on another floor so we cherished the times we had meetings and could sit together. I will miss her so much."

"It was a big shock to hear of Kay's passing. She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed talking with her when we worked together at the school or after she retired. She made me my favorite Christmas cookies each year. I know she will be missed by many but she will never be forgotten because she created so many great memories. My prayers are with the family."
