Jeannie Kay and I were in Lyric Theatre Of Washington . At the age of 17 she sang the female lead of Utopia Ltd- I had a minor role but sang in several "group" choruses with her-I thought she had a most beautiful voice- I have the recording of our performance which was the first recording of this G @ S Opera- how I happened to search her tonight and find she had died is mysterious- my sympathy , and may I add a most wondrous voice has passed. I really liked her-50 some years ago.

I love you and thank you for being in my life. We will continue the journey of this life as we have... with love and faith. Jeannie Kay loves you and thanks you for the wonderful care and great affection you gave her for so long. I am so proud to be your friend. I love you, Harry

Deepest Condolences to Curtis and family on the passing of Jeannie Kay, a lady of great love whose physical presence will be sadly missed. May memories of her spiritual strength and sincerity inspire your futures. To have shared time with a woman who clearly demonstrated the law of good, and the divine Principle and rule of Universal Harmony is blessing indeed. May that blessing live on through you all and your spirits never lose the connection.

Jeannie Kay Mebus Hinkle reposes toi au paradis , que le Tout Puissant ait en ton Ame , nous a Dieu et a Lui nous retournons ; ainsi que je presente en mon nom et a celui de ma famille toutes mes condoleances a notre cherche curtis

said tamcarit (maroc)

A tribute not only to dear Jeannie Kay but also her dear and beloved partner in life's journey Curtis, their immediate and extended families...

I would like to express the great joy that both Jeannie Kay and her beloved partner Curtis have brought to so many across the world under tough situations without reservation. At the same time as opening up the hearts of so many by their combined generosity of spirit.

I know this will be a very tough time for you Curtis and respective families and friends and thus wish you all the courage you may need at this time...

I am certain that the magnitude of both Jeannie Kay's and Curtis's hearts which were joined together for 30 years or more will live on well beyond those years in the mystery and adventure of life as we know it here on old planet Earth. If I am correct, as I suspect I may well be... Jeannie Kay will live on within all those who knew her and in particular her dearest partner in life that is Curtis and immediate families and others dear to them (even those they may not know personally but have been affected through their generosity of spirit the world over).

I know that Curtis will be further inspired in life's journey from having shared so much with Jeannie Kay as they did for each other when dear Jeannie Kay was alive in the basic of terms as we understand life... Be assured she will continue to live on as she lives on right now in my life almost 12,000 plus miles away... She will do so for her beloved dear Curtis too and more so...

Curtis dear friend I wish you and your immediate and extended families and friends wherever you all are on planet Earth, the courage you need in life wherever it takes you and I am sure that you will be given a light to help you through it by Jeannie Kay and those others too who came across her, she will live long besides us all.

Take care and with much love from both Y-J and I

Jeannie Kay,

I only knew you through dear Curtis whom I haven't yet met in person either. My heart is broken, though, as if we were childhood playmates!

Rest in Peace, dear one!

Many great memories of you and the wonderful times at Christmas in Spartanburg. I also cherish the memories of our NOW trips around the South. Both Gene and I will miss you and are so glad we got the chance to know you. To paraphrase Hamlet: Good-night, sweet princess: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Goodbye and our Love- Liz and Gene

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.

They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole

They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
