Dear family of "Bob" McKibben,
Wendel& Judy send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to you all. I am so sad over "lost years" but rejoice we met and had reconnected few years ago. I enjoyed his letters and phone calls, and Wendel enjoyed his chats too. (The SUDOKU guys) Thank you for letting us know, dear Joyce. I do hope we can somehow stay in touch.
Lots of memories! I'll never forget our childhood days on the farm and what fun they were. So long ago.
We will be with you all in spirit and in prayer. My heart is very sad.
I love you'
Cousin Judy (Jeckell) & Wendel Fisher.
