We are grateful for Kay’s life of faith and love for her Lord. She was a very talented Florist and was well known in our area for her delicious cheese braid pastries. I am thankful for how she and RH raised her children, especially her youngest son, Eddie, who is the best husband I could’ve hoped for. Thank you Kay, we will miss you but know you are enjoying the beauty of Heaven and your reunion with loved ones gone on before.
