Ginger and I are sorry to hear of Sue's passing. We best remember Sue, Len & kids when we moved next store in '76. We watched the Kienys raise great children; their example helped us in raising our boys. While Sue and Len are filling God's arms, ours are some-
how more empty, Eric & Ginger

Ginger and I are so sorry to hear of Sue's passing. I guess we remember back when we moved in next door to Len, Sue and the "kids" in "76. They were such great neighbors who set a great example in raising a family. While Len & Sue are joined in God's arms, ours are all emptier now...Ginger & Eric

Kevin and family,

So sorry to read of your Mother's passing. Please know that we are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. It is never easy to lose a loved one and words seem empty at a time like this. May you find comfort in knowing that when the time is right you will once again be reunited, and in the meantime let all of your happiest memories sustain you.
With deepest sympathy,

Tom and Sue Record
