I got to know Kay the last couple of years through the Yoga.com forum. Her Christian, upbeat spirit inspired me as well as others--she was a brave lady who loved her family and life and lived it all to the fullest. You made the world a better place lady--it was great to have known you!

Dear Lenny and family,
Just realized that today is the memorial - what an appropriate time to record our thoughts. We were amazed as we read some of her accomplishments from the past 10 years that we were unaware of. She was an amazing woman and will be deeply missed. We pray for you and your family. May God comfort and strengthen you. May her memory always brighten and lift you as God brings her to your thought. Love,Rev.Jim, Linda and Jordan Morrison

To the entire Guere Family,
Kay's passing hit me very hard. For the 20 years that I have known Kay and Lenny I have known that they would always be there for me. I kept in touch with you on and off but as true friends -we always picked up where we left off. As a little girl I admired the relationship between Lenny and Kay and always hoped that I would someday find that same kind of connection with my husband. The way the two of you laughed and joked and teased was so comforting and I always could tell the feelings were so genuine and the love was totally real. I also admired the relationship between Kay, Lenny and their children. Kay was always the one concerned with the education and spiritual growth of the kids but never pushed too far. To watch Lenny joke with the boys at church and to see the way they looked at him made me realize what kind of a parent I wanted to be. Although I never met Mary I know that the 4 boys are great men and I know that it had everything to do with their parents. I will miss Kay greatly and I only regret not seeing her more when I could. Lenny- your daily visits lift my spirits and I promise to do whatever I can to help you in this time and for the rest of our time. Like you told me-we really are family.
Kay- I am sorry I was unable to grant you the miracle that you requested from me. All my love goes to you and please know what an inspiration you were and always will be in my life. God Bless.
Love, Jessica

I Am Not There
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripen grain
I am the gentle autumns rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die

Mary & Ray and family,
Your Alaska cousins send their most heartfelt condolences on your loss. We're so happy that you had the time you did with your mom. We know that was a tremendous comfort to her, and we hope, for you as well. You should have no regrets other than the short amount of time you had with your mom. I don't think there can never be enough of that time. In a way, it was very fitting that she died during a blessed season. It seems that she was blessed indeed, in leading the life that she did, and especially having had Mary for her only daughter. She was very lucky because of you, Miss Mary. I hope you find lots of comfort in that fact. We all send our love to you, and we share your sorrow. Sincerely, Cindy, James, Sarena and Jamie Ebelacker

Well, I've been telling myself to be strong and hold it together for my kids, but I think it's about time to say how I feel, and what better place to do that than here?
My mother is the strongest, most stubborn, most loving person any of us have ever known or ever will know. I have never seen someone care for people she has no business caring for the way she did. I witnessed my mother taking care of countless people who found their way to the battered women's shelter in Highland Gardens that I would have never given the time of day. I can't even measure the impact that she had on people that I never knew from before I was born. She still, right up to this past year, had a woman that she helped out 15 years ago, send her gifts and thank you letters from Ireland! I only hope that any of us can have that type of impact on mankind. I miss her more than I could ever say, and Dad, I pray for you every day. It's nice to see all of the comments on this website, even though it's hard to swallow. This has been the hardest few weeks of my life, but we need to remember that we'll meet up with her again in heaven.

Where to start? I will miss my Mom dearly, as any son would; But I know we had something very special. She was a very complex and special person. We could talk about anything that interested me and she was knowledgeable about it. She was a self taught geek, a lover of all good music blues, jazz, classical, gospel, bluegrass, and rock, she was an artist, a self taught pianist, an animal and nature lover, a runner... the list goes on. She could do ANYTHING she put her mind to. On top of it all, she was my Mom. I Love her and miss her greatly. I do not pity her though, she has finished the race and is at the table of the Lord as I type this. No more cancer, no more stress, only joy unceasing.
To my Brothersyou too Ray and Sister: Going through this together has made me think about how blessed we are as a family. I do not want to take any of you for granted. I Love you all.
To My Wife Mary: You have been a "gem" as my father said. Thank you for your love and caring support, you have no idea how special you are to me and my family right now. I Love You so much!
To Dad: I Love You and cannot begin to express my appreciation for the steadfastness that you have exhibited these last few years. You are truly an inspiration to me and a model of what a loving husband needs to be. I share in your sadness and will be there for you. I know Mom went to the Lord peacefully knowing she was loved unconditionally. I Love you Dad!

Our sincere concolences go out to all the Guere family. Kay was a
wonderful and dear friend who will be missed forever. We can thank her for making possible the reunion of many of the kids she grew up with in PA. While attending a funeral for a family member yesterday the pastor reminded us of how special a place she will have in heaven and how this holiday time should always be a day of celebration rather then one of grief. For Kay it is her rebirth and an everlasting peace with those who have gone before her. We will join her again one day in eternity and look forward to that reunion with great happiness. God gave his son for us at this holiday season and he has chosen a special time for Kay to be with him in his eternal garden. We will praise Kay and all that she was and will be for ever as her spirit lives on within us and she is at peace with God. Love Rae and George

There are no words to explain a mother's love, only the feeling you have knowing how dedicated and selfless someone is. My Mom was that person, loving her God and her family above all. I have watched and learned for 49 years and hope I have made the same impact on my children.
Dad, we always teased you and called you the 6th child, but you have shown us in these past 3 years that you are the best father in the world, and no one could ever be as dedicated and loving as you are. Thank you so much for the care and love you have shown us, and the undying love you have for our Mom. Thank you for all the important lessons you have taught us. I still have so much more to learn from you.
I love you Dad!

As a writer, I find myself pretty inarticulate at this time. How do you summarize a life like Grandma Kay's? Other people's grandmas baked cookies and rocked in rocking chairs. Mine ran road races and built web sites -- even after having 2/3 of a lung removed. She had multiple pairs of running shoes and knew the exact mileage and running conditions on each pair. She listened to Stevie Ray Vahn and read the Bible. She never missed calling me on my birthday. She lived a full, generous life and I hope she knows how much I love her. I have always felt privileged to know my grandparents so well and for so long and I can't stand the thought that there are so many things I won't be able to share with her now. Whenever I run, it will always be for her.

What to say but Grandma Kay was a wonderful woman and grandmother. She has been an inspiration to me to never give up on anything because she never gave up on anything she set her mind to. Her battle was long and courageous and she finished the race. She always had advice for me whether I asked for it or not. She gave me a book for my birthday this past June called, "Rating Your Dating While Waiting for Mating." After reading this I thought she must want me to find a perfect husband like my grandfather was to her. All I can say is no matter where I go she'll be right above looking after me. Grandma, I'll meet you there. And to Papa, you did one-thousand times more than a wonderful job taking care of her. We couldn't ask for a better person to do that for her and I'm positive she knows you gave it your all. You did good Papa, you did good. Papa, I love you with all my heart and I'll always be here for you when you need me and we will all miss Grandma Kay very much and we all love her dearly.

As I have told anyone who has asked me about my grandmother, she was a hero to me and to many people around this area. As friends would tell me, "I saw your grandparents running again," I would laugh and just say, "yup!" My grandmother was the most amazing woman I have ever known and always will be. I could not have dreamed up a better person to be a grandmother. I loved her very much as did the other 17,000 Amsterdam residents. I always thought that beating the cancer she had would've been the greatest victory she would have accomplished, but I am sure that she is disagreeing with me as I am writing this. She made it to the most beautiful place, heaven, which as we all know is the perfect home for someone like her. I will miss her forever and love her even longer. To Lenny, you my friend are the most admirable person I have ever known. Plus your daily antics make it a privelage and a gift to be your grandson. I love you and you know I will always be there for you with whatever you need. The only bad part is that you have to run on the hard pavement while Grandma gets to be on the comfy clouds: God Bless you papa. I love you!!!

I can't even imagine what to say. She was the greatest mother I could have ever hoped for. No matter how bad things may have gotten, we always felt rich as children. We had the most important things a child could have. Infinite love and unwavering support. My mom taught me so many important values as my brother Bob has already said. She taught me to love God above all, no matter what. She taught me how to stand up for my beliefs, and I never once in my life felt peer pressure. That strength she gave me made it easy to make the right choices in life. She gave us her all, all the time. Dad, you are the greatest. You took care of mom so well, just as you did us as children, I know she left for Heaven with a smile on her face.

Kay was much more than a sister to me...having taken care of me when I was a baby because our Mother could not.. Kay was almost killed the day I was born when she was hit by a car that left the terrible scar on her arm...I spent about 1/3 of my childhood living with Kay and her husband Lenny in Philly. Their home was a wonderful Christian home and the doors were always open. Kay gave freely of herself; sometimes to her own detriment. I have wonderful memories I will always cherish. Such as Christmas in Abbottsford with Kay at her piano; Easter at the Philly zoo in our finest outfits....I could go on and on. To my nephews and my niece please know I grieve with you...and to Lenny; who is more than a brother to me... I thank you for the love, devotion and tender care you've shown my sister these past years; especially the past few months. I admire and love you more than I can express in mere words. I know in my heart Kay is standing on the "Rainbow Bridge" and all her cats are running up to her...never to leave their Mommy's side again. Some day, we will be together again. May God Bless The Guere Family.....

Guere Family; It has been an honor to be part of this family over the past 30 years as the solitary and as Lenny says; favorite son in-law. My love to you all in this time of grief as we all feel the loss of Kay and this dynamic life that was so well lived. May she find peace in the Lord.
I can honestly say that ours has not been a typical relationship as in-laws. I will always remember Kay as she was; a wonderful caring mother, dynamic, always learning and sharing. When she put her mind to something, it was done! Never one to give up on a challenge. hmm, must be the German genes. This was especially evident these past 3 years. A knowledgable, independent champion for Christian faith and someone I will always consider family as well as friend.
Godspeed Kay!
To Lenny, you are an amazing person. I hope if I am ever tested/challenged in the way that you have been, that I will find the faith, courage and strength that you have exhibited in the past 6 weeks.
God bless you!

I wanted to post a "public" message with some thoughts I've been having about Mom so here goes, but I only have 1000 characters.
How do you measure a life? I think a great way is to look at who you've impacted and how your children mature. My parents taught us to fear God, to love, and put family first. Mom always put everyone before herself. Even to her own detriment sometimes. She was a loving mother and wife. Mom showed us that marriage is a commitment that you hold dear, a promise that should always be kept. That will never be forgotten by those who knew her. These are lessons that can only be learned by experience, and ones I'll take with me for my life's journey. Selflessness. If only more people held this value so dear.
To my Dad: You make us all so proud of you by your willingness to care for Mom the way you did. I?m positive Mom was as peaceful as she seemed and felt every kiss you laid on her lips as you held her close. We love you Dad, you did great.

To Lenny and Family,
I had heard a rumor that Kay had passed, but I was not sure if she had until I read today's newspaper.
The goal of the Christian is to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Kay has now crossed the "finish line," and obtained the prize.
Soon, we will all be there - and what a day of rejoicing that will be!
As the hymn says - "Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice."
In Christ's Love,
