We were so saddened to hear of Mrs. Kays sudden passing! Associating with her at Burnsville Headstart these past 3 years, as our grandchildren Aurora and Orion have attended, has been a blessing. She was always friendly and smiling. We know she will be terribly missed by all. Jan and Elbert Spoon

As Kay's cousin, I will forever be glad that we reconnected after many years of not hearing from each other--but this also makes me feel even sadder that I will no longer be able to speak with her or receive any of her funny little pictures or cartoons. My deepest condolences to Travis and Lynne and the rest of the family! I know Kay is now in heaven with all those who she loved so much, and I pray that this knowledge will give everyone in the family comfort. Sincerely, Vikki Collison

Travis, I'm so sorry about Kay. She was a dear friend. We worked together when I worked at the Welfare Department. Many years ago, I went with her to the old dog pound when it was downtown. She picked out a poodle that she had for years! She was such a kind, loving, sweet lady!!

Kay was such a great friend and a devoted animal lover. I know she is reunited with her family, friends, and all the puppy dogs she has cared for over the years that have passed on before her. We often said all the dogs shes rescued over the years had won the lottery when they were adopted by her and Travis. Prayers for Travis and all their friends and family. We will truly miss Kay but know shes in Heaven for eternity. Joyce and Van Craft
