Kay, I knew you all my life and you were one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. If I ever needed anything I could always count on you and Dave. I will miss you and your beautiful smile so much. You are now an angel in heaven with John worshiping our Heavenly Father! With so much love in my heart I will say goodbye until we meet again.
