So sad to hear of Kay's passing. She was a real LADY. She had a sense of humour, strong character and noble stature. She was a classy lady. We will miss you in our Red Hat group..

Kay was originally from Hastings, Sussex, UK but I only met her in London when I was in my 20s (I think, it was a long time ago). Kay had to stay with us for a while and, although it was a very worrying time for her, she was really good company and reminded me so much of my Mum and other Aunts from Hastings. Over the years I visited again and her welcome and her warmth were always a joy. Always fun to be with.
