Oh Kim, Keith, Kristie, and grandkids, and greats,
I am so sorry. Your Mom was the heart of 11th Street! So many good memories of living there, and most of those memories included her. Kids were always welcome at her house, and I will never forget her kindness to my mom and dad. I will miss her.

Another angel has entered the flock and will he sadly missed by many that knew and loved her. She was a friend to my mother June Beck who had been reminiscing all the great times they had together as neighbors on 11th street and card club friends ( they had some stories to tell while eating goodies and gathering for many years telling us yes we used to play cards too.). May you find peace in the knowledge of everything and everyone that she met and knew loved her like we do.
