Passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, on Friday, January 3, 2025; aged only 71. Loved mother of Heath, Holly and Blair, and their partners. Loved by her grandchildren - Parker, Mackenzie, Hudson and the special one on the way. Kay was a great friend to all and a hairdressing Queen.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, ``There, she is gone”. Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, ``There, she is gone'', there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, ``Here she comes!'' Rest in peace Kay, with fondest memories. Frank, Jane, Zara and Isaac Crulci, Nonna Gabriella.

With heartfelt love to Kay’s family - she was a ray of sunshine, positive, thoughtful, giving and a true friend. I looked forward to our regular chats while she cut my hair - always with a smile and a little cheekiness. Will be missed- taken all too soon. Love Coral
