Dear Kevin and family, I am saddened by the news of your mom passing. I remember her as such a kind and loving person. She will be missed for sure. It was wonderful to see all the grandkids and great grandkids she was blessed with.
Now to hear that your Dad has joined her in death, is doubly sad. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
My father, Bob, has alzheimers and my Mom, Carol, is his sole caretaker. They live next door to me, so am happy to get to help out. It sure gets hard to see parents age, but saying goodbye is definitely heartbreaking. Hugs from the Hayden's.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at the loss of Aunt Rose Mary. I was very young when we all were together last, but remember at my mom (Lola) and dad's (Lawrence) 50th anniversary I got to visit with Aunt Rose Mary and Uncle Carl. I have thought about them often.

Mrs. Kessler was and will continue to be a major part of my life. I will always remember her for her refinement and poise. As one of my parents' friends, I always looked up to her and enjoyed seeing she and Mr. Kessler when they came to my parents' house. She always made me feel special, I will miss her greatly.

We are sorry for your loss. I have a lot of great memories of Rose Mary & Carl coming to Missouri to visit. Rose Mary is the person who taught me to stand on my head. I'm not sure how old she was the last time she showed me that she could still stand on her head, but I'm fairly sure that I will not be able to still do it at that age. Please stay in touch next time you are headed thru the Show Me State :)
