Kay’s spirit her entire life is an inspiration to all of us. She struggled with so much, and yet never gave up. She taught us much. I will never forget her smile and joy when by chance we met at a vision shop. She lit up that room. Thank you, Kay for what you brought to us. Your cousin, “Joanie”
So sorry to hear of Kay’s passing. I saw her last when she was at Hillcrest and Mom was in Northcrest. She was always in good spirits and so happy to have visitors. Judy Heinicke Shatney
Kay your face lit up with visitors, what a lovely smile. You were very well loved by your family and your sister Karen–a special relationship. I’m sure you are looking down on everyone, especially family and friends, and wanting them to know you are at peace and have great joy.
