sassenach Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Wow, what totally shocking news. Kay has always been one of my favorite "voices" on this board. We should all feel humbled that she thought of us during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with Kay, her son and dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This sucks. Kalanamack, you are a treasure and you've touched people all over the world through these forums. You are amazing, and even in this, your fortitude and grace are a lesson to us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Once Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Such sad, sad news. I loved reading her posts and greatly admired her voice here. I don't post much but I will miss hearing her wisdom and candor. May her final days be full of peace and comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. That is so inadequate. She has always been one of my favorite posters. Over the years, her posts about homeschooling have been very helpful, but what has meant so much to me has been her insight and care for persons with mental illness. I've been inspired by her forthrightness, humor, and compassion. Is there anyone local who might know if there is anything we could do? Your son is going to be all right. He's been so deeply loved and so well taught. Thank you for everything, Kay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiknGirl Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I noticed Kay was missing the other day and thought about stopping by her house, but I'm not good at stopping by unannounced.

Anytime I saw your name appear in a post, I had to read it. I've always felt you are someone who would make an excellent author. I don't want to believe you are not well. :( I will be thinking of you and your family a lot, especially your son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh no! I'm so sorry and so sad! I also felt she was one of my favorite voices because of her practicality and level-headedness.

Tiberia Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh No. So very sorry to read this. Kay was one of the first people to befriend me here. She was always kind, level-headed, honest, and funny as she plowed through the ups and downs of this life. She didn't sugar-coat reality, but she always faced it with a positive attitude (much like the little note we read from her in the OP). Her advice was always encouraging and wise and real. I looked forward to her take on some of the more controversial topics here, and I appreciated her homeschooling knowledge. I will miss her, and my heart breaks for her family. What a treasure she has been to so many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I keep coming back to this message with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I wonder if our families will ever know how much this board and the people on it mean in our lives? Someone I have never met in person, whos full name I don't know, whom I have no idea what you look or sound like and yet, Kay, as Kalanamak you have touched my and my family's life. I feel I 'know' you through all of your posts over the years. So, so sad today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
