Sorry to hear of Kay's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go to you at this time.
Kay, You and I go back almost 80 years. I remember you as being somewhat shy, gentle and kind, even as a young boy. You had curly hair and a sweet smile. You were willing to do anything Marilyn and I cooked up. As the years progressed, you became more interested in machinery, taking things apart and fixing; remember picking stones and haying season; you were quite muscular! Saturday night was a time to get dressed up and go into town in hopes there would be a good movie and meet up with other like individuals. I remember your tan jacket with strings hanging off the sleeves, and your large cowboy hat. You were a real "dude"!! You and a pal went off to work in the oil fields of Alberta and make a little money - - those were difficult days. I last saw you, Kay, in Regina 10 years ago at your favorite coffee house where you would meet with some of your cronies. We had a short but sweet visit and I can still feel your hug. I will always remember your kindness and caring, Kay. Have a good and safe journey, my friend. Auntie Jan.
