To the Tacker family,
I know her through her son Keith. And that's all I need to know...as my Mom said of him (her best compliment) "he's a peach".
I am proud to know and love him...and extremely grateful for the fine job done in raising him. Thank you Mom and Dad Tacker!
My condolences on your loss. No one is truly gone who is remembered.
Love,
