Sherri, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I see from the obituary that your mother was part of a large loving family. May you find comfort in one another over the coming weeks and months.

Sherri and Julie,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I always loved talking with your mom. My Dad considered her a good friend. I’m sure they are catching up right now. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Kay was the epitome of kindness and generosity…. both at St. Roch and growing up in our wonderful Sacred Heart neighborhood! Kay was good to everyone. May she rest in peace.
