Tony, I was so saddened to hear about Kay. I think back to the days on Leamington, passing your house, all the great cooking, and what great neighbors you were. My Mom passed away in 2003 and my Dad in 1995. They always talked about getting to see you in VIlla Park, but I guess that never happened. Steve, Mike, Maryann, Tony, Jr., and Joey, your ma was the greatest! Your old neighbor and friend, Bob Lauer.

Katie did not pass our way without sharing her "Joie De' Vivre". She gave us more enthusiasm for life. The joy of sharing with friends, all that expressed her life,commitment to motherhood,family,community, laughter and love. She gave this gift to all of us who were fortunate enough to have known her! She will be sorely missed.
