Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I was saddened to learn today of Kaye's passing. She was an admirable person whose kindnesses meant a lot to me. Thank you, Kaye.

I remember Kay when she came as a freshman to Wheaton
College. I have seen her commitment to Christian service for all these many years. She has been an example to all of us. Sympathy ton the Filkin and Gieser families.
From Ruth Gibson








Kaye was formative in Mary's youth leading the junior choir. She was a close friend for my mother throughout our lives. Her piano playing was amazing. I will treasure all the memories.

I will always remember Kaye ‘s warm enthusiastic person. Whether our friendship that began inCovenants Sunday school class for young couples, or a shared visit to Michigan beaches or an overnight stay in New York before our family began our best trip on the Rafello to Italy in June 1969. Kaye with David and Eric drove us to the sailing, then clutched streamers with us as we slowly pulled away into New York’s harbour. Talking together about our beloved dogs and our dearly loved families...

Kaye was a long time neighbor at Monte Christo in the Florida Keys. We always enjoyed our time with her. Our deepest sympathy to her family.

Sorry to hear of Kaye's leaving this Earth. I have a distinct memory of riding with her to my first day at Wheaton, in a Ford Convertible. Will miss her. Jim Webb Wheaton 64

Sympathy to her family and Richard Gieser's . Her life was used and
loved by her Saviour.

Blessings of peace and comfort to the Filkin and Gieser family in the "graduation" of Kaye.
