I was so sorry to learn of Mrs. Kelchner's passing. Our families were neighbors years ago. She was a lovely lady. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Dear Mr. Kelchner, Glenn, Diane and Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Kelchner's/your mom's passing. Many good memories of good old South 13th Street and hanging out in your backyard. I also remember the time that the "Easter Bunny" brought us little painted chicks (pink and blue) and they escaped from their temporary housing. No one in the Wilt family was brave enough to pick them up (Dad was still at church) so we called Mrs. Kelchner over to handle the job! Two little kids and a city raised mom running around like lunatics because of two teeny little birds. Mrs. Kelchner promptly wrangled them and saved the day! I hope your good memories lift you in your time of sadness and you smile remembering the good times. ~ Our deepest sympathies, Sandi (Wilt) and Rick Kresge
