I worked at Aspirus Riverview she was a very caring person and loved helping the people there. Sorry for your loss!

Pat and Frank and family and friends of Kay so sorry to hear Kay had to leave at such a young age deepest sympathy to you all and Gods blessing.
Even though I didn’t know Kay well I saw how much she helped my nephew’s Chris and Mike. She was a big part of their life and will always be with them. What a truly amazing woman with a big heart. My heart goes out to all her family
There’s something God has given us,
That’s more than family;
He’s placed a love for you, my Sister,
Deep down in the heart of me. ?
Peace
So so sorry for your loss Laurie. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Chris(and family),
I am SO sorry to hear about your Mom.
I pray that God will give you the peace and comfort only He can give you (1 Corinthians 1:3-4……Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our troubles……) knowing that your Mom is with Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:14……We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him……) and you WILL see her again.
May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family and draw you closer to Him during this difficult time.
BIGGEST hugs!!!

Laurie, Dan and family,
We are so very sorry for this great loss to your family. It sounds like Kay was a kind, hard working and loving woman. May your memories of better days bring you peace in the days ahead.
I was heartbroken when I saw the news. During my time in Adams, there was never a more lovely, active, and intelligent family than the Kierstyn’s. At the heart of it all was Kay, whom I’m sure I never saw without a smile on and laughing. I cannot possibly pretend to undestand what your family is going through right now, but know that your family is in my thoughts during this enormously difficult time. Jackie, Joey, Katherine, Carrie, Chris, Mike, Laurie, Dan, and others impacted by this monumental loss, rest assured that she is smiling down on you and your community will be there for you when you need them. Hold each other up. You’re all stronger than you know.
So sorry for your family’s loss. She was an incredible person.
We are so sorry for your loss. Kay was a wonderful neighbor. She will be missed. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you during this difficult time.
Again I wish to express my deepest condolences. I will be thinking of you during this hard time.
So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs to all.
Phil and I are sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family Friends of Laurie C.
So sorry for your loss
My condolences to all of the children. Your mom was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold. My prayers are with you.
I’m so sorry to here of Kay’s passing. She was such a caring person and had a heart of gold. Anyone whom knew her is now a better person for knowing her.

Our hearts weep for all of you…Kay gave her all to her children and in doing so, she helped you become the responsible young adults that you now are.
