Kay & family, your mom was an amazing nurse. She came to see when I had my son (1997) and helped me so much during my delivery. She was an absolute blessing! We will be praying for your family during this time.

Kay was one of my most favorite people in the world. We never met in person but were Facebook friends. She always loved seeing pictures of my dog Bennie. When he passed away she sent me the kindest words. We always had plans to meet but never got around to it. Iā€™m hoping she and Bennie found each other in heaven. Sending my prayers to her family and loved ones.
