Kay was a sweet lady, I remember years ago talking about canning corn. She told me to put a slice of green tomato on the top of the corn in the jar when canning and it worked. I enjoyed the times we met with her and Jim to go out and eat. Sorry to hear of her passing. May she be free now from all her pain.
Kay always had a pretty smile on her face. Always wanting to help someone. She will be missed by all that she touched. Her memory will live on in your hearts. Marilyn (Forsell) Miller
