Uncle Kip, Kristi Jo, Kris and Kevin ~ My thoughts are with you. Chickie was a wonderful person and I have many sweet memories of her from growing up. She was blessed to have Kip, who cared so much for her so close by and her two wonderful grandsons Kris and Kevin. You two have given her so much to be proud of over the years. Please take comfort in knowing she will continue to look down on you all smiling for many many years to come. Love you all.

I never had the opportunity to meet Mrs. McCabe. However, if she was anything like her son, Dr. McCabe, she was a pleasure to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Karen Nichols
