“We are deeply saddened to hear of Kay’s passing and will miss her very much. We often cared for her beloved pets and we know what a special lady she was to them, and all of us. She treated us so well and just this past Holiday brought special gifts for each and every staff member, as she has done for several years, to thank us for watching her “babies,” as she called them. It is us who owe her gratitude, for enlightening us with her warmness and caring.”
