Guestbook

  1. Dear Sandy, David and Bucky, We simply wanted to say how sorry we were to read about your mom’s death. We hope her last years were peaceful and without too much discomfort or illness. She was one of our favorite people.Such a treasure. We remember her smile and quick wit. She and your dad were the perfect couple. We loved them both.

    One remembrance I have of your mom that was especially important to me. When I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. We all worried (naturally). After we found out it wasn’t malignant, she wrote a simple note on her card, ‘Benign is the most beautiful world.’ I’ll never forget that.

    She was a gracious person always and I’m sure you will miss her every day.

    Love to you all. Joan and John Curtis

  2. Sandy, David, and Bucky,

    We were very sorry to learn about the passing of Aunt Kipp. She was such a wonderful, caring, and accomplished person. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Allen is sorry he was not able to be there for the memorial service.

    God bless you all.

    Allen Jr., Uncle Allen, Steve, Doug, Tom, and all the Massachusetts Browns.
