Take comfort in knowing you have a special guardine angel to watch over you now. Kay you will be missed i enjoyed talking with you at parties.

Even after so many years of not seeing Kay, I can still remember how smart and bright she was and how much fun to be around. I can think back many years ago to those horrible afternoons at Oakville School that we spent memorizing the dreaded multiplication tables...Kay always had the quickest answer!   We will all remember her for different reasons but all, I think, with happiness in our hearts for having known her.

As i watched all the people at the funeral home last night, kay had so many friends and was blessed. We will truly miss her great big smile at all the parties, she use to be so excited to come, she even showed up one time a day early for a party with dessert in hand, we laughted about that this past holiday. I know she loved being a part of our family and will truly be missed.

DEAR JOHN MIKE AND NICK, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY IN THE LOSS OF YOUR MOM. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD AT SOFTBALL GAMES. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU AT THIS TIME
TONY (LIPPO) AND PHYLLIS LOPARDO

Not only was Kay my co-worker, she was a dear friend.  We talked at least four times a day, every day, because of work.  Because of this, we formed a special friendship.  We had a lot to share, because in many ways, going back 30 years, we were alike.  Every time we shared our younger years, we discovered we had so much in common.  As I sit here working, I feel the quietness of not hearing her voice, and I miss her immensely.  She was a true, caring friend.  She always cared about others and not herself. Good night, Kay.  Until we meet again.

Nana,
I already miss you so much! It is so hard without you. As my mom said earlier, I just keep wanting to see you walk through our door and to be here with us. Also , I am so happy that my last words to you were "I love you."  Right now I am wearing your necklace and I will treasure it forever! You will always live in my heart and I will never forget you!
Ti Amo Nana
Love Nicole  <3

I too, have known Kay since her cheerleading days at MHS, and as an underclassman, she took me under her wing to give me encouragement during tryouts, and told me "I could do it", and I did... That's the kind of person she was, helpful and loving to all..She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside...To her Family, we send our Deepest Sympathies and Love to all of you...Patti (Tanno) & Bill Spetrino and family.....

To Mike,John,and Nick   I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your Mother.                           Chuck Petti

Kay - It is so odd to be sitting here waiting for you to call or to walk in the door. Never in my life have I experienced such a loss. I so wish we had more time together.  
You were so affectionate... hugging us tightly whenever we saw you, sending cards for every holiday or occasion, baking for us often... and were so easy to confide in. No matter what we talked anout, you never had a bad word to say about anyone and always looked  to the bright side. John reminded me this morning that I can still talk to you, I will just have to listen harder for your response. 
We are sad you are no longer with us, but are thankful you are with grammy and papoo and are now without pain. 
John, Brandon, Nicole and I love you and miss you. 
You loved angels, and now you are Our Special Angel!

I am so sorry about Kay's passing.  She was a nice lady.  Have very nice memories of her at Kim and Guy's family parties.  My prayers are with you all.  Sue Hogarth

Kay and I were cheerleaders together  in junior high and senior high. She had the spunk,the jumps,the kicks, the pep,the enthusiasm,and really good ideas that made her a "top notch" Mayfield High cheerleader.
I remember, too, her cute smile, and sparkly brown eyes. It was a joy to be her teammate and share in a very happy time in our lives.

 I BELIEVE Kay is experiencing amazing LOVE and PEACE with our merciful LORD and FATHER and with her loved ones that have passed. I pray for her family and friends to believe this, too. Fondly, "Randy" Lee

To Kay's family, 

Kay was a wonderful person and will greatly be missed. She always showed up with a smile on her face and a kind word to say.

I will miss Kay at our family stuff. She was a very nice lady with a good sense of humor. We had a lot of laughs. There's a brighter star in heaven now.

Auntie Kay,
I will miss you so much. I find comfort that my last words to you were "I love you." And I know you are with Grammy and Papoo again. I love you.

My heart is heavy with sadness over the passing of Kay, as we worked together for several years.  She could always be counted on and was a lovely person.  I share your sadness at her passing and will remember her with fondness always.  I was lucky to have met with Kay several times, and we shared some laughter about our work, as well as the low times.  I will miss her dearly.
