To the Beers boys, and the Kerns family. We were saddened when we heard of the passing of your mother. I did not know your mother as well as my mom did, but what little I was around her, she was a very pleasant lady. We may not be real close cousins, but you are very wonderful people, and I’m glad to have know you guys, as well as your mom, and your dad. If there is any thing we can do, weather it would be helping the farming, singing, or teaching school just let us know. God bless you all.
Gary, Mattie, and Ellie and family;
We are thinking of you all today and always. Praying that you will be comforted knowing that you will see her again. Dolores was and is a gracious loving spirit who was lovely in all that she did. I will always remember visiting her for chocolates…and at the Round Town Mall. We are sending all our love to you and your family. God bless. Kim and Michael Murphree
Just wanted to say you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Much love to you all.
There just aren’t words to express the feelings of losing a parent nor the words to make you each feel “better” right now but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs to you all…..
To Gary, Mike and Denise,
Howdy you all, I was at funeral this morning and never had the chance to meet/talk to any of you all, its been a long time!
Just wanted to say I was so sorry to hear about the loss of you Mom! I know my day is coming to deal with this some time but I can’t even imagine! I know it was tough enough just to lose my grandparents! Can’t imagine a actual parent!
I know my Mom is quiet upset as her and your Mom were very close! Mom would constantly talk about her phone conversations with your Mom !
I think what I remember the most is when we were all kids and we would come up to your place and have dinner and watch Hee Haww and then maybe play guitars a lil bit!
Or the times as Olathe Lake when we would all go out boating and water skiining! Lot’s of good times we had in those days !
Well anyway just wanted to express my Sorrow about your Mothers Passing!
Thanks
Mark Nicolay
