To the keenhold family. My deepest condolences to your loving mother Vera. She was a wonderful woman. She had a great sense of humor and great smile. Sorry to see that in the Bath News. She made great Italian food that I loved to eat. She was just a wonderful person. Out of all the women I dated, I would be proud to her my mother-in-law. God Bless Vera. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY.

Karen, May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. You were so kind and thoughtful to recently attend my mother’s services while contending with your own mother’s journey. Following your mother’s choice of career must have made her proud. Peace, my friend.
