Kay, you will be deeply missed by everyone as you would light up the bowling alley every time you walked in. Everytime we walk into a bowling alley we will be thinking of you and we will know you are watching us! We loved you very much!
I so enjoyed having Kathleen as part of our church at Meadow Springs. She will be missed. I met her several times walking into church when she first came and she always kidded about having short hair. Such a lovely and brave woman. The Lord will take good care of her and she will be pain free. May the Lord be with her family during this time. Take care, Diana– If there is anything I or the church can do for you don’t hesitate to call.
Grandma Kay, you touched my life in a very gentle and loving way. I will always be grateful for your support. You are a guardian angel to those you love.
Kay will be missed so much. Denny has such wonderful memories of her when he was a young man and tells them often. He loved the one Jim shared of her pounding Bus with the fish. She was always so warm and kind, even in her illness. We both loved her and all of you as well.
Grandma Kay we all love you very much. I was very pleased when you decided to move to WA four years ago. It gave us an opportunity to get to really know you. Carrie, I, and the kids will miss you dearly. We love you.
We love you, Mom. I’ll have to make twice as many trips to the grocery store, because you won’t be with me to remind me of what I forgot. I’ll miss my shopping partner.
Love you, Gwen
Will never forget all the good
times with kay as part of my
family. A good neighbor.
Loved her a lot. nancy
Grandma Kay loved people. In such a diverse family as ours, she gave of her love abundantly and unselfishly. My fondest memory of her was of once while visiting my grandpa in the nursing home, I stood at the door unseen. I watched my lovely grandma tenderly wipe my grandpa’s brow and whisper to him, “Bus, I love you so.” I slipped back into the hall, not wanting to spoil the moment between man and wife. I know grandma’s happier now beside him.
I love you forever.

I loved you Grandma Kay, and you will always remain in my heart.
I’m sorry it took me so long to do this, Kay. What to say? How to say it? We met 4 years ago and you’ve always treated me like one of the family; I didn’t really get to know you until the end–but I feel like I’ve been touched by an angel for it. I’m so sorry that the time I was allowed to spend with such a loving, generous woman whom I only recently learned was my friend has been so short. But I’ll keep in mind that one of the things I admired most about you–your unending love for your husband–is undoubtedly sustaining you most rewardingly wherever you are now with him. Thank you for touching my life, Kay. I will always remember the things you taught me about generosity of love.

It wasn’t until my dad passed away on Sept. 22 that I knew about this web-site offered by Einans. So, better late then never. Kay was always such a nice lady. I enjoyed her sense of humor. She was always treated with so much respect & love from Jim and Gwen. Kay knew she was loved and will be greatly missed.
