What to Say?See Condolences

I am very saddened by the loss of a very dear friend of the family, Kay was someone who was loved by everybody especially my mother whom sh had befriended for 50 yrs.

I am sorry to hear about Kay's passing. I was blessed to be able to work with Kay. She will be missed. Ruth Alexander

I only worked with her for 6 yrs at St Margarets but I'll never forget her. Always the professional nurse,but could given comfort with her quick wit and ready smile. To know her was priviledge to be her friend was an honor. Kay You Are Loved My Many...

Kay touched many lives as a nurse and friend. Her genuine heart felt compassion especially for the less fortunate and disenfranchised of society. Kay also was an outstanding co-worker; she was always reliable and very hard-working. I will miss her friendship, her smile, and her laugh. Many a tough time she pulled me through to help me become the person I am today. A memory that I want to share is how Kay influenced many troubled youngsters to make good decisions. As a psychiatric nurse, Kay was able to manage a crisis unlike anyone I have ever met.

Sorry to read of the loss of your dear mother. I do not know your family just wish to offer my condolences to the family. May the many fond and wonderful memories bring much comfort and joy to your family May the love of God comfort and sustain you now and in days ahead.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Expressing my condolences and sympathy to all of Kay's family. She was a wonderful friend with a feisty attitude and funny sense of humor. She will be dearly missed and she left too soon. I share your grief and am very sorry.

I have lost a very dear and special friend who was the kindest person. She had strong beliefs and was never afraid to stand up for them. She took a stand on issues and was active in creating positive changes. She was a genuine and unique individual who touched many lives, loved by many, always seeing the good in people. She wanted things to be fair and just and thats why we were friends and she taught me better ways to think about work ethics, fairness, and politically correct values and how to be a strong woman. The world was a better place because of Kay. May God Bless all her loved ones and friends and may she be relieved from the recent suffering she endured. Amen

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
