    What a beautiful lady. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your mom, John. No matter how old we are, we still love being someone’s ‘child’. Melinda, I’m thinking of you and know how difficult this all must be right now. Danny, Josh and Jase, you were blessed to have such a lovely grandmother who I know loved you so much. Darlene, Ken, Austin, Lauren and Madison xoxo

    so very sorry to hear about the loss of Mrs. Keirsbilck, she and her husband are the source of many fond childhood memories stemming back the small grocery store they owned, they have the heart of every child in those neighborhoods during the 60s and 70s in my case. my prayers and condolences are sent your way.. so very sorry.
