So sorry, Delwyn. These losses are beyond awful. I have seen on FB, so many who loved Kay and have such lovely memories. Didn't know her, but prayed for her during her journey. We lost our daughter at the age of 41 from an auto accident. Know you have precious memories of a life well-lived and loved. Holy Spirit, comfort this family in their loss.

You and Kay did a great job with your girls. Precious moments that I remember well. Kay had a sweetness about her that touched so many. Wish I could have been there but 23 years ago today, Rone said goodbye to me. Just a difficult time but know you all have been in my thoughts and prayers. We will visit later.
