Dear Tom, Dear Linda and Andy!
Also, we feel with you and are saddened by the death of Marianne.
Unfortunately it was not possible for us to see her again before her death.
We will keep them with their friendly and humorous manner in memory until we meet again in a later life.
Then we are looking forward.
Andrea, Thomas, Neele and Lina Rodd

(Lieber Tom, liebe Linda und Andy!
Auch wir fühlen mit euch und sind traurig über den Tod Mariannes.
Leider war es uns nicht möglich sie noch einmal vor ihrem Tod zu sehen.
Wir werden sie mit ihrer freundlichen und humorvollen Art in Erinnerung behalten, bis wir uns in einem späteren Leben wiedersehen werden.
Darauf freuen wir uns schon.)

Andy, Linda and Mr. Keepers,

the Keller family sends prayers and hugs to you and all of yours at this sad time. I cherish the memories of growing up in Randolph Hills. Marianna is a big part of those memories. She always welcomed me in to your home on Monongahela Drive and made me feel accepted, as you all did. That meant alot to me, someone who spent his entire childhood struggling to fit in. I'm here for you Andy, as you know, now and always.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. Mary Anne was always very kind and had a great sense of humor. We had many great time growing up and I enjoyed our stays at the Ranch Club. She will be missed.

Condolences to the Keepers family! I have so many fond childhood memories growing up as neighbors on Monongahela. I've always been curious if Andy named one of his children "Finders" like he promised when he was a kid?
