I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to you and your family as you have lost your precious wife. The last time I saw Kay was probably over 10 years ago when she was helping out at the Morgan House and we had a nice conversation, remembering when our sons were involved in sports and you were my son, Nick's, coach. Time seems to march on, but there are many memories from our "youthful" days that we can be thankful for. With my deepest sympathy and blessings, may God bless and strengthen you during these difficult days. CONNIE CORROVA

We have a condo in Lexington Country Club. I was reading obituaries and the name Ciminello made me wonder where I had heard the name. I told my husband I thought it was a name from our community in FL. I got our Lexington directory out and realized we are your neighbors in FL. Our permanent home is in Grove City, OH. We are so sorry to hear that one of our "family" in FL has passed away. I don't know if I ever met Kay or not, but rest assured we all love our neighbors in Lexington and it is a community of wonderful people.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Jo Ann and Harold Skinner

Joe, I'm so sorry to hear of Kay's death. It is tough to lose a spouse, I know. Hope the family will gather around and support you. Mine was a big help. You may want to join a support group later. They can help you.
I hope you didn't have damage in Florida. You don't need that during this difficult time.
My sympathy to you and your family.
Sincerely, Ruth

I am so sorry for your great loss. Kay was a vibrant, lovely person, and will be missed so much by all whose lives she touched. I wish I could have been there to speak with you in person, but I could not. I will never forget her and how she touched my life.

Dear Joe & family:
On behalf of the DeMers family, I just want to let all of you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Over the last few days I have been remembering how special Joe & Kay were to Mom & Dad. I remember how special Lisa is to me. You were such a wonderful friend to me and I still tell the story of what you did for me when we were in the 8TH grade.
When dad died, then mom a year later they both taught me something very important. We all prepare ourselves for times such as these and usually think we have prepared well. At that moment you feel as though you were not ready at all. I learned that's ok. God will be with all of you in the days to come. Remember that if you need anything, or just need to talk I am more than happy to listen.
May God Bless all of you now & always,
Cindy DeMers
