    Our sincere sympathy to the Snyder and Windhager families at the passing of Kay. Her love of life, family and friends will be greatly missed by all who knew her. In addition to the joy that she brought wherever she went, she had a spirit and pluck that got the job done for the greater good, while motivating and inspiring all those around her. Always working in tandem with husband Leo, sister Lois and brother-in-law Fred, enjoyment and success was shared with all. We must all carry on in her tradition. With Love, Greg Smith [Baltimore, MD]; Rosemary (Snyder) Smith and Gene Smith [Castle Shannon, PA]; Rose and Russ Luczak [Emmitsburg, MD] First Letter of John, 3:18 â?? Children, let us love not with word or speech, but with deed and truth.

    Leo, Lois, Fred, and Family, Know that the Salley family loved Kay! She was a bundle of energy each and every time we were around her. My parents cherished all the times they traveled with the four of you. I know that I always enjoyed visiting you all when I made it back to Pittsburgh. On behalf of my family (Michael and Jennifer) and JoAnn (Kerri Jo), please accept our sympathies. Kay was a lovely person who will be remembered by all of us.
