Our deepest sympathy to the family of Kay. I got to know Kay when she worked at the Arborg Health Centre and continued the connection when my boys would play sports with her grandchildren. She always enjoyed watching her grandkids in action. She will be missed. Again our deepest condolences. - Posted by: Candy and Bob Cherepak (friends) on: Aug 15, 2012
