My name is Kristine Koba, I served as caregiver to my parents, Richard and Janis Koba, who lived around the corner from Don and Celine on 7th Street. My folks were both proud members of the class of 1942B and St. Mary's parish. They would see Don and Celine at the Tues./Thurs. exercise class at the Hospital. I am very sorry for your loss. Your folks were very,very nice people. God bless.
