Bob, I am sitting here before Christmas, realizing this is the first Christmas that Kay is not with us. I really believe I have been in denial that Kay is gone. She was always the energy of the Dorr Family, caring about every one, the closest I ever got to having a sister. I will remember Kay forever! I regret that I did not get down there for the memorial service, because I feel like I have had no closure. Maybe that's OK, because she will live in my mind and heart as long as I live!

Bob-
Kay was such a beautiful lady inside and out and a good friend. We can have a measure of peace knowing she is now pain free and in her heavenly home. May God comfort you in a way that only He can. We love you Bob.

Bob, Albert, Sondra & family, Kay's passing saddens me so. Growing up, she was a cousin so close she felt like a sister. What a girl, what a lady, what a personality, what ambitions, what dreams, what accomplishments Kay had! She loved our family & we loved her. We will miss her always.

Kay,
I barely remember you from our days at AHS yet I have heard nothing but good about you from so many from our great class of 1963.
Rest in peace until Jesus comes to call His own.
