It is with much love and prayer I give for Kay and his wonderful and welcoming family at this time. I'll always remember him so fondly at Christmas parties and family dinners. He especially loved my dogs and my dogs loved him back. My deepest condolences and prayer for strength and peace at this time. You will be surely missed with love

You are an inspiration & wonderful testimony of a good daughter to your parents.
I had the pleasure of meeting your parents over Christmas many years ago in your home.
I will be remembering each of your family over these days.

We’re so sad to hear of Uncle Kay’s passing. We got to speak with him a couple of Christmases ago and he was having one of his good days. We are thinking of all of you during these sad weeks. Love from the Townley family.
