Just found out of Kays passing, if we knew we would have been at the memorial service. Kay was a Dear friend thoughout our working days at Keller. She often cheered me up even when she was down and did not show it. We often tell our children of Kays jokes and tell them how bless we were to know her. For 10yrs of our days together, Kay touch us deeply and will always be a fond memory to carry with us always.
Thank You Kay
