I met Kay 2 hours before I met her sister Barbara who became my wife 2 months later. A short marriage followed (53 yrs, 6 months, and 3 days) in spite of me. I love her like my own sister and she will always be a part of my heart. Thank you for all of the counseling and advice and support over the years. Enjoy your time now with brother Bill and sister Barb
