Kay F. Read

63 Years old, 5' 2" Tall and Handicapped

Updated April 28, 2010:

We had another successful  HONOR KAY READ BLOOD DRIVE on April 18th. We had 24 donors that will help up to 72 patients that need blood. How amazing and wonderful our donors are to help save so many lives. The next drive will be Father's Day, June 20th, 2010 again at the ARC Broadway Donor Center, 9:45 am to 2 pm, call 520-886-7212 to make an appointment. There will be a COLD CASE ARTICLE in the Arizona Daily Star by Kimberly Mates probably May 3rd. Pray for that one person who has to know something reads this article and makes that phone call to 911 or 88-crime to give Kay back to us. Kay has recently been added to www.NamUs.gov site that was featured on THE FORGOTTEN television show. The day will come that we'll have our precious Kay back. God's wonderful blessings to all that read this, keeps track of Kay and for all of the prayer partners that keeps Kay in their prayers. THANK YOU!

Our Lord is so Good. Our Mother - Lillian Read went to be with the Lord on January 30th, 2010. Mom's big 95th Birthday Celebration was just 17 days before. Mom is in a far better place, she is walking, seeing, hearing with a brand new body just like Our Lord promised. We miss her so much, she'll never be forgotten just like Kay. Now, Mom knows all about Kay and someday we pray that the rest of will too! TPD are still working on Kay's case. They are not giving up on finding what happened to Kay. We need that one person  to still come forward.

This is to  HONOR KAY but to also get donations for the American Red Cross. It is easy, safe, and helps save many lives. There are many patients that count on the ARC for blood, and you can be one that will help that patient. Your gift really does help others to live. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. To make an appointment, please call me anytime at 886-7212 (jseagle1@msn.com) to set up a time. If you know of anyone else  that would be interested in donating, please have them also call me.

Update 09-12-2009:    Thanks to all who donated in "HONORING KAY F. READ" American Red Cross Blood Drive. Whether it was at TUCSON MEDICAL CENTER (TMC) (TMC staff are great people), HUNDRED PALMS / ST. PAUL's UNITED METHODIST CHURCH or at the AMERICAN RED CROSS DONOR CENTER. We had first time donors at all 3 locations and some that hadn't donated in many years. Kay's birthday at the ARC donor center had reported that we had 25-28 donors HONORING KAY. There was a gal that had been in Kay's 2nd grade Sunday School at St. Paul's of course, a few years back, she was so happy that she could donate in KAY's name. She said Kay made a difference in her life. Another LAW STUDENT lady saw the news cast at noon and came directly over to donate for Kay. You ladies are an inspiriation. KVOA & KOLD NEWS STATION's gave a great report and coverage on the blood drive. They both PROMOTED the AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE IN THE NEED FOR BLOOD TO HELP THE COMMUNITY. Thanks John (KVOA) & SOM (KOLD) you both are special to us, God Bless! We hope to have a quarterly blood drive in HONORING KAY. STAY TUNED FOR UPCOMING INFO & LOCATIONS.

Update 04-07-2009:  It has been a little while since the anniversary of Kay's disappearance. We did have a PRAYER GATHERING & BALLOON LIFT on February 15th at St. Paul's. We had many wonderful friends (Jane even was here from S.C.) that came to help lift Kay up to the Lord, many hugs, many tears, just remembering and sharing stories of our precious Kay. It was a very emotional day for all of us. The media were terrific in helping share Kay's story in a beautiful way just like KAY. Kay is still missed, remembered and always with us in everything we do. Thanks to all for helping with you friendship, your prayers, your hugs and making it very easy to always share our stories until we have Kay home again.  Blessings to all, Mary, Lillian, John and the rest of Kay's family.

Update 02-08-2009: Kay Frances Read is still missing since Feb. 15th, 2008 from her home in Tucson, Az. Kay is missed so much, every day is so long but the past year has now flown by.  Dear Heavenly Father, We pray every day for our sweet Kay's return. Kay's Mother is hurting, as are all of her siblings & in-laws, all of her nieces & nephews, her great nieces & great nephews, her Sunday School children, her church family, her co-workers, neighbors and people all over Tucson still need her returned. The not knowing is so unbearable, the questions "WHY KAY?" & "FOR WHAT REASON?" Lord there has to be somebody out there that knows the answer. Dear God PLEASE GIVE THAT SOMEBODY THE STRENGTH TO CALL 88-CRIME OR 911 GIVING OUR KAY BACK TO US. Please give us the peace Lord that we need to get through each tough day until we have Kay back. Thank you too Lord for all you do for & give each of us. We give you the glory that only you deserve! Thank you Jesus! In Christ Name. Amen
 
Update 01-05-2009: Christmas is a good day because it is Jesus Birthday, but lonely & sad without Kay. Kay loves Christmas, the decorations, the toys for the toy drives. She collected toys all year long to take to Tucson Medical Center, Gospel Supply, Walmart and anywhere else that had boxes for toys.  She would also pick up several Angels from the Angel Trees all over Tucson. Kay also buys all kinds of canned & box foods for all of the Community Food Bank Drives. Kay is missed by many for her bright happy smiling face and her giving ways. We miss her because she is so special to all of us. I (her sister Mary) miss talking to her every day, figuring out what our Mama needs or wants, or what is going on with her cats Bobby & Jack, or what is going on at work. Kay is missed so much by our Mom, her heart breaks everyday not having her to call or have dinner with, to watch TV with, to go shopping with but mostly seeing and touching & hugging her. Kay we love you wherever you are, we will not give up till we find you. That’s a promise that will be kept. We're all praying for your return soon. WE LOVE YOU KAY AND NEED YOU HOME AGAIN........
