Many of my memories of Kay are so distant that they are rather feelings than thoughts...Whilst my thoughts therefore continue to be with her beloved family, my feelings are always a haven of treasure in which Kay is the perfect person - a safe hand to hold - passed now to heaven. As I read here and see pictures I do so between tears of love and of appreciation for the time I spent with Kay, so thankful for her and for dearest Linda for keeping me in touch. Kay's name for me will forever wear a shining crown of light.

I remember Grandma as such a loving and kind woman! She was always a pleasure to see at holiday events and speak with about her grandkids (Doug and Lee). She was full of love and smiles, and can tell she was very proud of the family tree she had helped start. I will always remember how pleasant, thankful, and positive she was!

Yesterday was Auntie Kay's (and Barbara Blacha's) Memorial Service in Santa Cruz. The ceremony was on the ocean on a beautiful, sunny day. People shared lovely stories and sentiments about both ladies. Once the ashes were scattered into the sea, each person threw in a yellow rose. The boat then circled the area with the ashes and flowers 3 times. One the second turn 3 pelicans in a triangle formation flew low over the roses. I thought it was fitting since Kay's sister's (Auntie Sheila) ashes were released in about the same area. Sheila, Kay, and Barbara flew by us one last time. My Aunt Kay was very dear to me. She was very loving and kind. I will miss her. My favorite memories of Barbara were at the 4th of July parties. She was always smiling and brought the best fruit salads. May everyone find comfort in the memories we all shared. Sending love to my dear cousins. Fondly, Cousin Carolyn XOXO

A couple of weeks ago, on a bright, sunny, WARM Sunday, I was talking to Doug and Brooklyn. I moved around and repositioned myself, so that they wouldn't have to stare up into the Sun.
It reminded me of occasions when I attended a football or baseball game of Doug's, when Kay was also in attendance. On at least two of those occasions, I moved around, so that big, old, hulking Tom could create some shade for tiny, frail Kay. The memory makes me smile.

Our deepest condolences. Kevin and I spent a Christmas vacation in her company and it was a privilege to have her at our daughter Morgan’s wedding to Lee. She was a sweet and elegant woman who will be remembered well. Karen & Kevin Schuman

I met Kay in 1955 when we both worked at Smythe Buick. We started a friendship that lasted until Kay's passing. Our kids grew up together, especially Steve (I still think of him as "Stevie") and my son, Stuart, who were born a week apart. There are so many stories I can tell about those years. We had such good times together and I am sure Linda and Steve will also remember many of them. I think of Kay often and fondly think of all those years and the times we times we spent with and without our kids.

Kay was always so interested in how my day had gone. I will always remember her greeting-"Hi, Sweetie".

My sister, Molly remembers running across the street to ask for Kay's help with knitting "mishaps". She was very thankful for Kay's patience and gentleness!

After the mayhem of presents, Kay loved these walks to the local park. One year, she made the winning shot in a game of hoops!
