Kay was a great friend to me! She had a heart and love for people that was immeasurable and will be missed by so many of us! Kay and I shared many a coffee and meal together...we cried tears of joy and laughter and tears of sadness. She was my confidant and my prayer warrior and for that I will miss her tremendously! I will treasure many memories! I would like to express my sincere condolences and sympathy to her family at this time! - Posted by: Shirley Romanchuk (Friend) on: Apr 09, 2015

Jim and family, Our deepest sympathies for your loss. I only had the opportunity to meet her a few times and she was so nice and such a strong lady. She also made some pretty awesome treats for the office, which was always appreciated. Take care, we love you all! - Posted by: Barker Family (friend and co-worker) on: Apr 08, 2015

I remember Great Aunt Kay as having a real mischievous side! I believe it was she who organized silly skits at a family reunion, and whenever we met, she was full of laughter. She also contributed her kind and compassionate perspective when I was gathering some family history for an assignment, which I really appreciated. She was a truly bright spirit. My condolences to all. - Posted by: Wilma Schroeder (Great niece) on: Apr 07, 2015
