I will miss you Daddy.-Whimbimer
I’m am very sorry to read of Keith’s passing. I will always remember he would act like he would get someone’s nose.
Sincere sympathy to Mrs. Gibbons, Kim and family. Kim’s husband Brian has spoken so sweetly about his in-laws, I almost feel I know the family and their homeplace. It’s not easy to lose a parent, so my heart goes out to you all.
