Dick and I are so sad at the loss of Kay Bradley McDermott. Kay was my first inspiration to be a nurse. I thought she was the most beautiful site in her nurses uniform and I could not wait to get one of those beautiful uniforms for myself as I did so quite a few years later. Kaye will be missed but not forgotten. Kay, give my mom and dad a kiss from me. Love, Rea
