I just found out. I am so sorry for your loss, Kay told me that being there for your husband is more important than doing the dishes, and sometimes you just have to yell at the moon. Advice I have taken, when I married I got staff for my homes, made sure my husband is my best friend and yell at the moon instead of people. She was an amazing woman.
