Guestbook

  1. Dear members of Kathleen’s family, Kathleen was a member of our sewing family for many years, including just recently when she brought her machine in for a minor problem. We enjoyed her .sew. much for the time we had her and she enriched our lives. From Marilyn, Ron, our son Marc and everyone at Close to Home.

  2. Keith, I am very sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very dear and supportive friend to my mom (Dorothy Curneal). I’m embarrassed to say that I do not go to church as much as I should, however when I did go – your mom never hesitated to make me feel welcome. When I would ask about you and your family, she would light up! I could tell that she was very proud. I know how hard it is when you lose your mom – it has been 16 years since my mom passed and I still miss her dearly. But the memories of how much love she showed everyone shines through! May God bless you and your family and may time make it easier. Sincerely, Laurie Baigert
