Art and Family, so sorry to hear of the loss of your father/grandfather; I know that no words can comfort you at this time, however, as time goes on, and you remember him in your daily thoughts and dreams, you'll realize that he will never truly be gone as he continues to live on in you all. Prayer continued for you all.

I will always remember Uncle Roger's fiesty spirit and political bantering...:) He is home in heaven with his beloved wife (Aunt Mary) now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
Linda

Dear McKeague Family,
A smile comes to our faces when we think of being drafted and arriving at Fort Sheridan, not paying much attention to what we were supposed to do and not do.
Also, we laughed thinking about all of us moaning about our losses at our monthly poker games. We will miss Rog.
George Lannon & Charlie Voss

Art, Darlene Fuller sits next to me and we were just talking about losing parents, then she mentioned you just lost your Dad. Just want to extend my condolences on the death of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
