Granny Kay, the heart and soul of the Crawford Peace House, has passed.

Anyone who spent time in Crawford TX with Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the activists involved in that will remember her.

Granny Kay was the heart of that place, and maintained the Peace House for as long as she could. Her journey ended, and began again, on Sunday.

She will be missed.

Tens of thousands of us were there in 2005 and Kay managed to make each of us feel special.

What a truly wonderful human being she was.

This is a great loss.

RIP Kay.

The Peace House was an oasis of calm in a nest of vipers, and Kay was a big part of that calm.

Kay was a determined fighter and champion for women and justice.
She inspired so many people to stand up and speak truth to power.

Peace at last.
