To Darlene , Jimmy and  All the Dear Family Members of Kay,

My  sincerest condolences to you. I was unable to attend yesterday because I was out of town.
My early  memories of Kay were back to Round Hill days when we worked together. We would always try to smile away and laugh away
the busy and crazy times with the students.  
In recent years I would see Kay at the food pantry volunteering her 
time to help others.  Kay truly made a difference in helping other people.  I pray for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.
Betty Ann VanLeeuwen

We have nothing but fond memories of Kay.  She was our greeter at Round Hill Elementary.  It was always nice to see her smiling face each morning and share stories of our day.  She would always offer her help and she had a great rapport with our faculty and students.  She will be greatly missed.
Love her Round Hill Family
 Lisa Beers, Melissa Benincasa, and Tricia Kelly

To the family of Mrs. Parks,  your mother was a wonderful women. I grew up across the street, she'd take us out for lunch on our birthday, for me it was bugaboo creek. She would give little bags of treats on Halloween, Christmas and Easter. And we(the neighborhood kids)looked forward to it and loved it.  When I'd see her outside I'd always yell hello! From looking at childhood photos, she was at many of our celebrations whether it be birthdays, communion, etc.  But I do know Mrs. Parks is visiting with  Al and Lizette Linskens.  The Parks family is in my thought and prayers during this difficult time

Kay and I were friends at the food pantry where she loved to talk to everyone and everyone loved to talk to her. We would converse some mornings when our newspapers were not delivered or she found it in the bushes. Kay was a joy to know and always  loved being at the canned vegetables table.
