Dear Tim and Dianne,

What a beautiful picture of your Mom, Tim.  She looks exactly as I remember her from so many years ago (I can almost smell the baked beans cooking!)

Please accept my deepest condolences.

With love,

Mell

We have lost a real lady.  Kay always had a smile and  was always so welcoming to newcomers in town as we were back in 1969 and the early seventies when we lived in Lucknow. I remember her very gracious hospitality as we visited her for tea. at various times.  She will be missed.  Our sympathy to all the family.

Ted, Tim and families, we’re so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.  My first memories of Kay are from when we were next-door neighbors when I was really young, before I started school.  It was always nice to “catch up” every time we met over the years.  Mom is thankful to have enjoyed a really nice visit with Kay in the last few months.  May your special memories comfort you at this difficult time.
