Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Your Mom was a special lady. Many fond memories took place in your home. I saw your Mom at the dedication of the Peace Memorial, we had a nice visit. You are in my prayers as you grieve the loss of a great lady. Chris Riggs Mitchell

I remember your gracious Mom and what fun Kathy, Meredith, Ellen, Vicki and I always had at your home. My thoughts are with you all.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother.
She was certainly a part of Rockford's backbone (not to mention the neighborhood's). Your dad took good care of me when I was a kid. (I haven't found a better doctor since!) And I know your mom took good care of him and all of you.

I always will remember your Mother as a gracious and warm person. She was very kind and supportive to me and my family. Peace to all of you. Richard Armstrong, Venice, Fl.

I never met Mrs. Keeling, but I have had numerous conversations with her children and grandchildren in my work position. Everyone in the Keeling family has always been extremely kind and helpful. It is clear that they inherited their wonderful personalities from their matriarch, Barbara Keeling. My prayers go out to you in your grief.

Our sympathies to the Keeling Family. She was an awesome woman.
