Praying for the Urbanczk and Baker families and the Munday Community....What a wonderful woman she was. I will never forget how she always went out her way to make sure I had "Mogul Mania" football merchandise. After Keith graduated I received a package from her,it was full of photos of him taken by her....what a sweet thoughtful woman.... She will be dearly missed by all that knew her.

Kerri was the best teacher! She had giving me such beautiful memories for all three of my girls school year of Pre-K. She lost her son last December in a car wreck but she continued to work on a 3 ring notebook full of the wonderful pictures she took of the kids that is priceless. People like her can not be replaced.

Many boxes of Pre-K artwork are the result of Kerri's creative heart. I always knew I would find a sweet keepsake in my kids' backpacks. Her passion for remembering special moments has added many photos to our family scrapbook. Thank you Kerri.
