April, Darren & Barry: I will always be grateful for your mom. She had an impact on my life that could never be repaid. She accepted me into your home and she always treated me as a member of the family and that is how I feel about all of you too. I am so sorry for your loss.

Darren, April, Barry - I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. I can recollect many old memories about her, Glenn and all of you guys visiting us. Mom gave me all of your cell numbers so you can expect I will be calling you to say hi. God has a reason for everything he does. Smile and remember all of the fond memories. Stay close as siblings. Love Brian, Nancy, Flonnie, Jamey, Rhetta

April, Darren and Barry, so sorry to hear of Kaye's passing. I am filled with so very many fond memories of past years. I....was on the school bus with Kaye when I pointed out my Uncle Glen was visiting us. They were such a handsome couple! It was also me .....who helped name you April. I spent a week with your parents in Kentucky when she was very pregnant with you. I cannot tell you how many card games and monopoly games we all played!! You were such cute and well behaved little ones. It was a given that you were at mother and dad's on a week end for games and mother's yummy desserts. We need to get in touch, I did not know you were all still in Indiana. xxoo Rhetta
