Travis, Kynsie and boys,
Though I never met Ms Kay in person we shared a special bond with our love of you all. She understood when I would say “you was my son from another Mom”. How much you helped me stay sane after loosing Jacob. Just know you all are in my thoughts and prayers!! I love you and I’m always here.

When our boys were growing up I met Kay and Terry. Great people and friends. Kay was always very supportive of her family and son, Travis. We helped her several times when they ran the concession stands at athletic events supporting our sons sports activities. Hard worker, compassionate, always giving and joyful lady. I enjoyed our friendship.
