I was so sorry to read about the passing of Kay. Stuart and her were always so kind and good. She showed me how to weave. Stuart would press apples for us. I’ll never forget their kind of show to my mom and dad when they were sick they would stop and visit them or bring some vegetables. You’re so blessed to have such kind parents.
