I was very sorry to read of Kay’s passing. I met her when I lived in East Avon between Sept. 1995 and August 2006. She is related to our family through our great-grandfather, Peter Arthur, Her Mom’s Grandfather. Kay was a beautiful, intelligent and sweet woman, and I enjoyed our lunches together. My sympathy to her family upon her death.

RIP Aunt Kay
