To the family and friends of Tony Krepps my deepest sympathy. I am assuming his passing was due to the multiple myeloma. His name was just above my husbands name in the paper who passed away on the 24th. God gave Gary the strength for nearly 20 years fighting this cancer. I prayer that one day they will find a cure for this awful cancer. Again my sympathy.
