To the whole Savio family, we are so very very sorry for your loss. We have many very happy memories of Kay over the years and all the holiday gatherings. She was always so full of spirit and kindness, she really lit up the room and every occasion. We were fortunate to have known her. We send you all our support and love in this sad time. She was a lovely lady. And you all are lovely people too. She lives on in you. With love to you always, Mark and Karena.

My greatest sympathy to a wonderful friend and to the family of Marti Lawson. While I never met Mrs. Savio, she obviously had a very strong positive impact on Marti and her girls.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. What brings a smile is that she is now reunited with Sean and she and stormin Norman are discussing how bad the Browns are. Kind of jealous. My mom is deeply sadden by this loss and would be there if she could be. I am looking into traveling up. Hugs and prayers to all.
