I was so saddened to read of Kaye's passing.  I was her student my sophomore year at Medford Mid-High.  She will always be remembered for talking with our class about the meaning of the student shootings at Kent State in 1970.  I met up with Kaye at the Ashland Y where we both swam.  She was always interested in what I was doing (especially what I was reading), and enthusiastic about life

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mother Mary, I wish the best for you in your time of loss. She sounds like a wonderful person and I am glad that she has touched so many lives.
