Dear Tim, Bev, Shawn, & Mandy,

It is never easy to lose a parent or grandparent even when we realize that in many ways they are at peace. Wonderful memories and stories to retell are a comfort and a way to let the great grandchildren know and remember them. Although we cannot be there in person, please know our hearts are with you and as always you are in our prayers.

Love,

Mary & Tim

Dear Tim, Bev, Shawn and Mandy,

Words cannot express how much I will miss "Mrs. K". She was the most courageous, independent and devoted woman I have ever had the honor of knowing. For the challenges she faced throughout her life, she will be rewarded in heaven. I am having a very difficult time looking over at the darkened windows and dealing with the fact that she is gone. But now she is at peace and it is well deserved.

Our sympathies to you and your family.

Tim, Beverly, and family,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

When I moved to Virginia Avenue, in 1977, the Kaerchers welcomed me with friendship. I will always remember them with fondness. I would see them sitting out in the yard and go up for a visit. As I approached, Mr. K. would say, "Here comes Mrs. Bloom." I never did figure out why he called me Mrs. Bloom.

Debbie and I shared many of the same interests. We went on shopping sprees to Peddler's Village, Flemington, and Reading. We both loved to read and would share books. And then there was Musikfest - one year I think we went every day. We both did counted cross stitch - Debbie was far more prolific than me.

Mrs. K.'s love of flowers and gardening - there were no weeds in her flower beds - was an incentive. I wanted to emulate her, but never succeeded. I truly admired her needlework. We often had a cup of tea and a chat session. In the past few years we grew apart, but I will always treasure the friendship we once had.

The Kaercher's were neighbors in the truest sense of the word.
