To the family of Kay Cahill. Please accept my deepest and fondest sympathy in the loss of Kay.Wow, how I wish I could have been there in person to talk with her beautiful family. We sure did a lot of work and unique things together at the Resource Center and I will never forget those days and those stories. I can remember her smile and laughter and her Joanie stories, even though she has so many other loving children.I'm grateful that Bob Pechloff let me know and we will be praying for her soul this weekend at Our Lady of the Woods - it's where I work these days as well. I will especially pray for her survivors because losing a mom changes one's life forever. Though we laugh again and remember often, Our lives are just changed. Thank God for spiritual strength in these difficult times. I pray she did not suffer. I will share this info with our former coworkers as well. With much sympathy........Love, Lorraine Bonk
