Keith and family another Angel in heaven with the rest of our classmates, sure her and Duane are talking about school days already. Hard and sad to have to say good bye but I also think no more pain or suffering for them. You are in our prayers.
I go thru Moline a lot and always look at the store and think of both of you. Not a store anymore.

I remember all the good times of staying with Kay at the Brooks Home. We also attended church together at Moline EUB, which later became United Methodist. We could be ornery in making some phone calls to ask people "Do You have Prince Albert in a can?" Then if they replied, we would say "better let him out"! AND, then hang up. I have lots of nice memories of Kay and her family. I am sure she will be missed by her loved ones.

The last time we saw Kay was the day that our dear sister-in-law, Sally Waggoner, passed away. She was always very pleasant with us. Ben has a humorous memory...as a high school Junior, Ben invited Kay to go to the Lake Junior-Senior Prom. When he went in the house to get Kay, Kay's Dad let a great big bulldog loose and Ben went completely through the screen door! The next day, Ben's brother, Bob, and Kay's sister, Sally, had lunch at the Brooks' and they heard every detail about Kay's night out!
We send our sincere condolences and sympathy to the entire family.
