  • Sharon J. Kruse Posted April 20, 2024 1:20 pm

    Dear Richard, Lohn and Chris, I remember Delbert and jeanette in fact, Jeanette and my Mother Lorraine, loved to chat over coffee. Kathy came from good stock. I also remember David. In 1967 Richard and Kathy were united in marriage at the Methodist Church in Glenwood. I was a bridesmaid and Dean Hunt was a groomsman. Kathy had black hair and a grey streak running through her hair in her younger days. Kathy leaves behind her life’s legacy and so many memories. Her Guardian Angels are with her now. You were loved Kathy and you returned love back. An old friend from the past Sharon J. Kruse, Mesa, AZ.
