I am so sorry for your loss. I am sad to say, that I knew Kay mostly through the stories Ben and Leigh told me, and I say sad, because she sounded like an amazing mother, grandmother and wife, and I wish I could have known her better. I DO know Ben and Leigh well, and if they are a testament to what a wonderful woman you were, then you have left the most loving and wonderful legacy one can leave. I wish you all comfort and support as you go through this difficult time, and I feel heartbroken that such a wonderful family has to endure this. Please know we are sending all of our love and hope your way, and that you are not alone. Much love and God Bless-Amber, John and Mira Medina

This was a terrible tragedy for a lovely, happy, caring, kind and fun-loving person and the family she loved. I love the photos of her with the butterfly because they capture her wonder at such things! She worked fiercely for the Gutglass Firm and was a peaceful island for me there.

Dear Russ, You and yours are in our prayers. Wish that there was more that we could do. This is as tragic a loss as I've ever seen. Now that we're in our 70's, we're seeing more departures, of course. They however are part of the normal life span experience. After being able to reacquaint ourselves thru your photo gallery, the tragedy overwhelms. Again, God bless you all and we'll see you Fri. Bob & Karen Ninnemann

Dear Russ, Stephanie, Nick, Ben & family ~ Our tears and prayers join with those of many, many others who are shocked and stunned at Kay's sudden passing. We are so sorry. Our hearts grieve with you.
Kay truly brightened any room when she entered. Her twinkly eyes, her warm smile, her cheerful & welcoming presence left a memorable impression. Truly lived her life as if the glass was always full, not just half full.
She loved with a full and loyal heart. Isaiah described Jesus as "a man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief." May His tender arms hold you close. May God's promise that "Love Is Stronger Than Death" give you courage and strength. With our prayers and love for each of you, Patty & Jim and the Robinson family.
