    I got a shock and very saddened to learn of the passing of Kay. Kay was a lovely lady I have known all my life. She was kind and always spoke . We have been f/b friends for some time. Rest in peace now Kay, back in the arms of your Dad and Mum. Jack was always so proud of you Kay and so loved you as did your mum whom you were so close to. To all her family accept my sympathy for their loss. God bless you all at this time

    From the family of the late Tom and Dorothy Nolan, Whataroa.
    I met up with Kay after many years while my Mum was in Grey Hospital. Was saddened to see another one of our Whataroa School mates have gone. We grew up in good times back then with lots of friends and relatives with childhood memories. Condolences to the Fraser Family.
