Our sincere sympathy to all the Collyer family in the loss of your dear Mother & Grandmother. She was a lady of Lucknow that will be missed. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time.
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.
So sorry to read of your Mom's passing.I have many fond memories of playing in the fort and Kay and Aunt Dorothy wondering who all was in the back yard
Ours Deepest sympathy to the Collyer family on the passing of your dear sweet mother. So glad I got to visit occasionally in Huronview with her. She was always so glad to see me and her face would just light up, always happy and smiling.You will all miss her, but especislly you Tim who went over and beyond looking after your mother.

Will see you in the spring.
