Deb, Gary and Diane--sorry to hear about your loss. Your mother was always very kind to both Darrell and I. Although being cousins we did not get together often but thought about both of your parents often. The older you get the more you will miss your parents.

 so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We had many fun times with Kay and Ron at our neighborhood Christmas parties. And lots of fun at our ladies luncheons!!! She will be missed. Jesus, we thank you for the gift of friendship,give her a hug from me.

Deb, Gary and Diane,
Your mother meant the world to me.  She was a lady with love and laughter that could light up a room.  She will be missed greatly and yet, I can just imagine she and your dad dancing in heaven together and preparing that warm and wonderful home in heaven as they await their full families arrival someday.
I feel so grateful to have known her for many years and my sorrow and grief for her loss is deep.  She was such a special person in my life and the life of our family.
I know that she will be missed greatly by your whole family and I pray for great joy, peace and comfort for all of you.  Thank you for sharing her with me for all of these years.
Love and hugs from Dee and Family!!

We are so sorry for your loss.  We'll always remember Kay as a delightful, caring lady who had a  fun way of entertaining friends at lunches or dinners with Northwest Passage neighbors.  She will be missed.  Bob and Linda Jones

So sorry to hear of Kays passing.  Just knew her for a short time because we moved to Norhwest Passage in 2007.  Went to several luncheons with Kay,and we always had a good visit and discussion of the world.  She will be missed.

Deb, the many years that have passed cannot erase the sweet memories of our childhood and the kindness your Mom displayed whenever I was at your house.  I'm thankful the Durkes family was part of my growing up. May you find comfort in knowing how gloriously she was welcomed into eternity.

Diane, Gary, and Deb. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I loved your Mom and my sister-in-law, as I still claim all of you.,  she was a very special lady, and friend, and I enjoyed listening to her as she never lost her accent. I was very blessed to be such a small part of her life. May God be with all of you and give you peace. Sending my love to all of you.

Diane, I didn't know your mother, but I know what its like to lose someone you love so much, that means the world to you.  My thoughts and prayers are with your and your family.  If you need anything, let me know - cleaning, laundry, cooking, help with pets...perhaps a scarf to shred...I'll be there!

Deb, I have such fond memories of your mom. She was such a special lady and was blessed to have such a special daughter. You and Gary and Diane are in our thoughts and prayers. Deb Clark

Dear Deb, Gary & Diane,
I am praying for comfort and guidance throughout this process. I am sending my love to you all as well, and know that God will sustain you through this tough time.

She is no doubt having a wonderful time up in Heaven right now! with Love and Friendship, Jim, Laurie, Hannah & Karsten

You are in our thoughts and prayers and may your memories bring you comfort.
