Incredibly strong. Kay was the family powerhouse, haha. I'll miss her every day. I hope that wherever she is now, that she's at peace.

Kay was the loving Matriarch of our family. She beautifully represented our parents' generation at every family event, even at the weddings of her daughter-in-law's 1st cousins-once-removed. Her presence will always be missed.

I knew Kay Friedman when she was my girl Scout leader when Beth and I were in the 4th grade. As a child with ADD before it was a recognized diagnosis, she did the best she could to contain me. I couldn't have been a more different child than her Beth! She will always be in my memories as a person who made a difference in my life as well as other peoples' lives. My condolences to her entire family. May her next consciousness find her in the loving presence of our Creator.
