I'm so sorry to learn of the passing of your dear mother. My mother was her good friend and I always appreciated their friendship. They met at Sperry, but they were friends who shared love of family and always a good recipe, of which we were the lucky recipients. I hope they are having a good reunion. Frances Smith McClure

Girls, you don't know me, but our Mothers were raised in Woodland and were good friends through all their school years in the Kamas Valley. They got together for lunch a few years back and Mom was so entrawled with Veon's tap dancing. She said she wished she lived closer so she could participate. Mom went down hill shortly after that, and they never got together again. I lost her a year ago April 8th, her 80th birthday. I bet the two of them are dancing in Heaven and ejoying years of lost friendship. May it help to know that others care. Sincerely, Roma

I would like to offer my condolences to the Keysor family. I work with Veon's daughter, Susan Metcalf, in the scouting program. She is one of the hardest working and dedicated people I know. There is no dought that she came from great parents who raised their children to love giving service and with testimony.
