Well, Mom, Bobby is the only one left. Gayle has passed away and a month later Brenda left us too. Looking back, is there anyway I could have made things better for us all? Those of us that are left behind, think of you all in great fondness. We do miss you.

Wanda will be missed by a lot of people. Especially her grandson Robbie. Robbie and Grandma had such a special bond. Wandas face just lit up whenever she talked about her grandchildren. We know she is watching over us in heaven. May God bless you Wanda and all of the hearts you touched.

Mom Kerns was VERY special to me. She gave me far more than words can say. She was always giving of herself to who ever ask her of help. The first thing Mom gave me was my wife Brenda. Brenda gave me our daughter Carrie. I could go on and on. I will say this from the bottom of my heart...Thank you ever-so-much Mom. I will miss you!
