Although my association with Kay was brief, she was a big part of my life c1985-1988. From her office @ 77Charles she handily orchestrated a ministry that was both amazing and profound. Kay was always there for anyone, anytime, and was especially kind to me-even when I stretched the job description for residence liason/night duty/summer employment/apt. rental and taxed her beautiful and boundless sense of humour. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Sincerely, Rosella Donaldon CCS U’86/87

I have known Kay for some twenty years through the Angola Memorial Scholarship Fund activities and through our mutual friend, Rev. Etta Snow, & I have come to dearly love Kay. She was one of the warmest, most caring persons I have ever known, a woman who lived her deep faith daily, and radiated joy and love. Thanks be to God for her beautiful life!!

Kay was the matriarch of our group of women who came together 20 years ago. Our goal was to help a high risk young girl and I’d say we have been pretty successful considering we all stay in touch and gather every Christmas. This was the first year without our Kay. We did call her at the hospice and she lead us through a beautiful and subtle goodbye. She had us in a circle, holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes. Our fearless leader right until the end. Although Kay was older than most of the group, age wasn’t a hinderance – it was a blessing. Kay’s wisdom, love, guidance, gentleness, moral code and humour is missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace dear friend.

Dear Kay, I will never forget your laughter and your open and giving heart. Rosemary
