Kay was gentleness and kindness personified with a great zest for life. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

My deepest sympathy to Mary and Frank and the extended Ballantine family on the sad loss of Kay. Always remember your Mum Kathleen with great affection....she was my first teacher and only kindness itself....every friday was sweet day , and we looked forward to seeing what she would bring in for us....always remember the candy toffee, in chunks and a little hammer was used to break it up and saw it later for sale at Cosgroves, Market st......no one was left out..lovely memories. All at peace now ...

Mary and Anthony Reynolds

Rest in Peace. Condolence to Mrs. Stephens and all Kay’s family and friends
