I want to offer my condolences to the Kellinger family, who were so welcoming when I first moved to Garrett Park in grade school. I'm looking forward to seeing Bill and Kathleen again, and we can all reminisce about what we looked like wearing uniforms at St. Johns.

True condolences to all the Kellinger family.
Mike, my mom also passed away a short wile ago. Believe me, with time, it will get easier to breathe without heartache...
I was, and am reminded of Helen Kelle's quote - "That we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us."
Godspeed...

My sympathy and prayers are with all the Kellingers. I remember sitting in the kitchen of the Garrett Park house and your Mom making it so much fun.

I am sorry that the Kellinger family is experiencing this loss. I have very fond memories of Aunt Kathleen, both when our families were very young and frequently visiting, and as recently as two years ago, which was when I last had the opportunity to visit. She lived life well.

I have many and only fond memories of Kathleen, my aunt, Uncle Bill and all of the Kellingers. I recall visits to Garrett Park (both homes) and Atlantic beaches, Coca Cola with lunch, swimming, and family weekend gatherings. Kathleen was always welcoming. My best wishes to all of her family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Kellinger's. "Aunt" Kathleen and "Uncle" Bill sure made us feel like family...from a Christmas Eve In Garrett Park, to weekends at Lake Arrowhead and weeks at the beach, they were an integral part of my childhood, and I loved them both!
