I loved Kay ... She was a patient at the dental office where I worked.... She became like family and we loved to laugh when she came for her visits..... Recently, I had the pleasure to say hello to her on a visit to her home.... Gods love and mine for this journey......
Kay was much loved. We are praying God's comforting hand rests upon Dewey and the rest of their family.
Our heartfelt Love to all Kay's family and friends . Kay was a precious cousin and lived with our family in Florida after graduating from High School. She was more like a sister to me . She was my Matron of Honor in our wedding. Such an amazing lady who put others above herself. Kay will be greatly missed by our family and we will cherish those special times we had with her. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all her family. Judy & Don Willen
Aunt Kay was always such a beautiful lady inside and out. Prayers to all the Mulvaney family
