Dianne, Kristie, Kip and family,

My Mom just sent me this notice this morning. I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Kuhn's death. My family sends you our deepest sympathies. I remember Kristie's Dad well, when he would pick us up so early in the morning for Huntertown Jr. High Swing Choir. He was always so jovial and singing and joking, and we were dead asleep! May our Lord grant you all His deep and abiding peace.
With much love,
Jenny (Koenig) Morrison

Diane, and family I just learned of Ronnie passing yesterday afternoon. To our sadness he is now with his brother Chuck, Mom and my loving husband Denny Sheets. Denny passed away at 11:20 PM Tuesday from pancreatic cancer. We know there is a great Akron reunion going on in heaven. May knowing their strength, throughout their illnesses, and their faith in the Lord, give us strength.

Thinking of you
