Shirley Kiser

She was my inspiration at Flowing Wells H.S. Thank you.

Jim - What a beautiful letter of tribute you wrote to your amazing and beloved wife. Ron told me of Shirley's passing and I am SO sorry. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Love, Pam

Jim, Madeline and Lisa - I send you love and light for such a great loss. May you never forget the impact she had on everyone she met - including me! She will live on in each of you.

Jim we're saddened by your loss. Your deep love and respect for your wife is palpable. It would appear she was as focused and professional in her work as you were in yours. The strength of your loving family will be a benefit to all of you in the coming days. Dave and Judy Skog

Dear Jim, Madeline and Lisa. Such a bright and beautiful light has left our world. I am so sorry for your loss - a loss for us all - and send my heartfelt condolences.
