Kae, a very kind and generous spirit with a great sense of humor will be sadly missed by her first priority - her family and the many friends she made along her life journey. The staff of Glacier View Lodge were as a second family to her. Their care and love helped to keep her with us. Dr. Konway worked so hard to keep her comfortable. The ambulance crew were so kind and gentle as were the emergency doctors and nurses, volunteers and 2nd floor staff. Thank you all for your overwhelming kindness and understanding.
