“Dear Thompson and Bowles Families, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Kay was a perfect example of the type of person we all strive so hard to be. She was a devoted wife, a wonderful mother, a doting grandmother, a dedicated sister, and a loyal and compassionate friend. I didn’t know most of Kay’s family, except through her conversations about all of you and when she talked about you, her eyes would just sparkle and she would be smiling that beautiful smile. She will be missed by so many, but I thank God for letting me meet such a kind, genuine person and having the opportunity to call her friend. Win all the jackpots in Heaven’s Bingo Parlor. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon her. You will be in our hearts forever. “
