- Kay has been a huge blessing to us here at the Friends for Folks program at Lexington Oklahoma Prison. She has helped supply us with dogs, visited and been on the “Dogs of Lexington” documentary, coordinated a Magic Show in Norman and donated some proceeds to us and has been so easy to deal with in my time in running the dog program thus saving many dogs lives and making the offenders feel human in the process. Thanks, Kay, for your awesome help and the Offenders feel so blessed to have met you and been a small part of your life also … Lee Fairchild, Case Manager/Dog Trainer/Negotiator at Oklahoma Dept. of Corrections, November 8, 2013, Lee worked with Kay but at different companies
- The belief in something larger than oneself is how I categorize Kay. In meeting her several years ago, we shared the same faith, that we could assist veterans with employment and with their needs as they separated from the military. To this day she continues to be a strong supporter and is one of the most dedicated and diligent individuals I have ever met. I hope to continue our mission together to tackle veterans causes wherever they arise.
