    Dear Gary and All Kay's Family,
    I was so sad to hear about Kay. I have known Kay for most of my life. We worked together for years at Burlington and shared many laughs with each other. Kay was always the same, she seemed to just roll with the flow. When I moved back to Monticello a couple of years ago, Kay was one of the first friends I saw. I will always cherish our friendship and will see her again in Heaven.

    In Christian Love,
    Sharon
