When Kay and Jim were neighbors, we were both busy working and raising kids. Later when we'd catch up in City Mkt, I always regretted that as she was a special, kind and caring person--always positive and smiling.
Our sympathy to all her family......God bless you always but especially at this sad time.
Love & prayers,
Dean & Sandy Brown

Kay and I have known each other since the 50's. We didn't see much of each other after graduation in '59 until our 50th reunion, but it was a pleasure to visit with her then and enjoy her warm smile again. We will miss her also, but the memories go on and we hope you share a knowledge of where she is now and the happy reunions that will occur now and in the future.
