Remembering all of the special times we had living just a few houses from each other in Santee. Late nights, helping her grade papers and baking gingerbread houses for hours. Not sure how she did all that she did but I really enjoyed our friendship. She left this world way too soon.

I am just lost for words to find this notice! I had just caught up with her only months before. So many amazing memories with Kay; such a special person in my life. Jennifer & Craig; I’d love to touch base with you.

Kay was my best friend since Oct. 17, 1972. It is hard not to reach for the phone every day to talk. So I just talk to her and she lets me know she is listening.

My Sincere Sympathy to Jenn and Craig.
I worked with Kay, golfed with her and bought many of her beautiful crafts. Such a talent she had. She will be missed.

Mom touched so many lives. I have received cards from people she had as student teachers 20 years ago! She was so full of love and I am blessed to have been her daughter.

I have fond memories of working with Kay in the Red Wing at Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary in Vancouver. I have quite a few craft items that I purchased from Kay and display in my home at holiday time. She will be missed by many. Her children and grandchildren are in my prayers.
