Kay's many friends range from St Walter's grade school to St. Ambrose College. Kay was loved by everyone and was very generous to all with her love, understanding, and knowledge.

Kay will be remembered forever for her generous and joyful nature. A special thanks to Kay's dearest friend Michelle Sotka for the joy, love and friendship she shared with Kay in her later years.
