Reading about Kay's love of swimming brought back memories of her and my mom floating around in the Lanark Park public swimming pool in Canoga Park, CA. They bonded over their mutual love of the water and I swear all they did was laugh. My mom and Kay were similar in their goofiness and had the same sense of humor. They met and became friends when Kasa followed me home in the third grade for a week straight because she thought I was Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) from Little House on the Prairie. :) I didn't learn that little fact until Kasa and I were in our thirties and it cracked me up. So grateful that Kasa followed me home as we became lifelong friends and Kay and my mom bonded as well over their shared sense of humor and laughter. That's what I remember about Kay - her ever-present smile and the light in her eyes. I know she will be missed but she has left an indelible mark on my heart and the hearts of everyone who knew her. Blessed journey, Kilarney!

There’s the Irish lady with smiling eyes!

Oh Mrs kay! You were my esthetician teacher in cosmo school. You were one of the kindest lighthearted people I have ever met! I loved how enthusiastic but soft spoken you were. You radiated light and love. You will be truly missed by so many I’m sure! My condolences to your family, may you fly like the angel you always were. 

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet mother! She was an amazing person. I’m sure she and my mother are in heaven together. We love you and are praying for you in this difficult time.    
Shannon McPherson and the Neilson family.

Kay was one of the kindest people that I know.  I missed her so much when she left La Junta, and I always enjoyed seeing her posts on Facebook. I know your many loving memories of her will comfort you. My deepest sympathies to you. 

I only had the privilege to meet this sweet lady a handful of times, but the times I did made a lasting impression.  She was so wonderful, kind, and had the sweetest smile.  She was effervescent, and she will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a sweet lady! Prayers to you and your family❤️
