Very few of my extended family memories - from the earliest childhood through to adulthood - do not include Kay. Either laughing in the kitchen, or laughing in the backyard surrounded by Kirchberg´s and Jungs. I cherish those memories and I am thinking of all of you, Dan, Ted, Monica, Teresa, Catherine, and Pat. With all my love, Meghan O´Brien Backhouse

Kay Kirchberg was a lovely and most gracious lady. She was unfailingly kind to everyone. I never heard her utter an uncharitable remark.
My family and I will always be grateful for her friendship, and we honor Kay and her entire family.

I worked with Kay for 15 years. The most wonderful person you could ever want to know, kind, funny, good hearted, wise, spiritual, hard worker. There aren't enough adjectives to describe Kay. She was my dear friend and I will miss just knowing she was in the world. Thank you Kay for your many years of friendship. God be with you. Love, Peggy Kowalski
