Kay was like a 2nd mother to me. I've known her since I was born, and our families were great friends. She was the person I called when I was in a small plane crash and unable to contact my parents. Kay was very thoughtful and would bring me gifts on birthdays or something from her many travels.I loved her and will miss her greatly.##imported-begin##Patty Cvetich Rismoen##imported-end##
Leslie and Kasha,
I'm so sorry--I loved your mother. Leslie when we were young I wished some times that she was my mom.
she had a gentle kindness. A way of making you fell important.
So happy I grew up with such strong gentel women like her.##imported-begin##Carol L Kreger##imported-end##
Kay and my Mom Betty Tupker were very good friends. My father Dr Eugene Tupker always said Kay was the best RN he ever worked with. She was always there to help. Our whole family, Bill, Gene Ann and myself cherished her friendship. It would bring a tear to my eye when on an occasional visit to St. Helens, I would still see my Mom's little red car still driving around.##imported-begin##Jane Tupker Raabe##imported-end##

I’d like to share some memories of my Aunt Kay, her mom, dad and brothers. Her dad, my dziadek, polishing shoes on the back step every Saturday so they would be shiny for church. Her mom, my baba, could grow flowers no matter how many rocks were in her clay soil. Her brother Tony, my dad, could fix anything and had such a soft heart he would go out in the most horrible winter nights to fix a furnace. Joe with his gentle smile captured the most amazing sites on slides that would fascinate us as kids. Andy who would make you feel so welcome and had you laughing before you got your coat off. Now Aunty Kay, she was a lady just like her mom. When she would visit she would spend time with everyone, she would always be interested in what you were doing and give such wonderful hugs. And her smile, she had baba’s smile, a smile that would make you feel loved. An amazing family with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who love them dearly.##imported-begin##Donna Downie Kucharczyn##imported-end##
I was so lucky to have met Kay while Kasha and I were sorority sisters at Oregon. She was a very special lady and such a good mom to Kasha and Leslie. She will be missed.##imported-begin##Nancy Hall Cole##imported-end##
Even though we did not see Auntie Kay often because of distance we always enjoyed her company when she visited. She treated me like royalty at 18 when I came to Kasha's wedding. My dad her brother Andrew always spoke highly of her. She was a special woman. Diane Sanderson Karsin##imported-begin##Diane Sanderson##imported-end##
I was like an adopted daughter when I was a child and good friend of Kasha's. I spent a lot of memorable times at her house. Kay was the most special lady and I will always think of her fondly.##imported-begin##Nancy Howell Lowell##imported-end##
