Family,
I just wanted to let you know how much I liked your mom. What a sweet lady. She was on my board when i was president of the quilt guild. She always kept us laughing with a funny story or what ever. She was a real treat, and I consider it a privilege having known her--only wish it could have been longer. Bonnie Ruecker

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF KAY PASSING AWAY. MY MOTHER, DELLA LASWELL ,WHO IS DECEASED AS OF 2003, THOUGHT OF KAY AS A VERY GOOD FRIEND. SHE WOULD GO TO MOTHER,S HOME AND CUT MOTHER.S HAIR. SHE HAD NATURAL CURLY HAIR AND HAD ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE FINDING SOME ONE WHO COULD CUT IT RIGHT AND PLEASE HER AT THE SAME TIME. KAY WAS A VERY CARRYING PERSON AND A PERSON WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANY BODY. MOTHER WENT TO TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH SINCE 1948. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL THE FAMILY.
