"Grethe was sorry to hear of Kay's passing. When she didn't get a birthday card from her she tried calling but the number had been disconnected. She was worried and called me to see what I could find. She just had a feeling........ Please accept our sympathy. Both Grethe and my Mother, Inger Rasmussen enjoyed hearing from their cousin. They loved to tell stories of when they were little and Kay lived with my Mom and grandparents while Kay's Dad worked out of state. She will be missed. Sincerely, Penny Rasmussen Brodack"
