Kay and my mother, Helen (Spratt) Bickett, were school mates and remained friends through the years and over the miles. Conversations, letters, snapshots and Christmas cards always included her horses and recent adventures. She definitely loved her ranch life. My mom would get so excited over Kay's visits. My condolences to the family.
