Dear Uncle Rusty,
I am sad that you are without your Kay. May your sweet memories and loving family help you continue on. I always remember her as a vibrant person who was always kind to me. Once at a show in Lafayette she gave one of her bows to Toby so he could give his mom a present.
May God bless you and bring you peace.
Rusty, Rod, Wes and families, So sorry to hear about Kay. Our “Coupal” cousins are dwindling. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Keep in touch.
Rusty, I am so sad that I lost track of you & Kay. I have wondered so often about both of you. Do you remember that it was Vic (LaRocca) that introduced you two? I’m so sorry to hear about Kay. I hope to see you, Rodney & Wesley on the 29th. Judy (LaRocca) Melling
Rusty, We’re so very sorry for your loss. Our family will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord give you comfort and peace in your time of bereavement.
Margaret Crenwelge and family, and Dennis and Susan Pehl
Miss Kay was a very special lady that I grew to think of as Mom. I will miss our visits on Tuesday, and our shopping trips that always ended with a trip to Dairy Queen lol. I know you will miss her dearly Rusty. Love you Pat
So sorry to hear about Kay! Prayers and hugs for Rusty and family in your time of sorrow!
