Kay was a very special friend. She & I had lunch together almost every day while I was in the HR Dept at Drake and remained friends after I retired. We enjoyed many laughs and giggles but yet we had many serious conversations too. May she be remembered as the serious and fun-loving person she was. My sympathy is with her family. May she rest in peace.

Kay was a beautiful person inside and out. It was always a special treat when she sang a solo or in the choir at church. Wishing peace for her family as she has been taken into Gods garden and healed.
