Mom enjoyed family gatherings, babies, music, the Royal Family, travelling and boating with Vince and their friends. Kay was a wonderful, protective Mother and loving wife, the center of our family. We loved her feistiness and sense of humour.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Jonathan Reggler for his wonderful compassion and care, Tim Cowan of The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, and Kay鈥檚 many friends and relatives for their support and kind words. No flowers by request but donations may be made to the BC Lung Association.

Thank you, Mom,

for a wonderful home -

Rest in Peace
