Although I only briefly met her, I feel as though I DID know her 'a little bit', through Kelly. I also know how loved and respected she was by Kelly and her brothers, and that says everything to me. I know how much she will be missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences during this time of grief. My hope is that the words of Christ Jesus be of comfort, when he stated that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" (John 5:28,29). We can also take comfort in God's personal promise to "wipe out every tear" and that soon, even "death will be no more" (Revelation 21: 4).

Rosemary, just read about Ruth in the Daily Globe and wanted to let you know I am thinking about you. I always enjoyed Ruth's sense of humor and am sure you will miss her greatly.

My condolences to the Kehres family on the loss of your mother & grandmother. The Kehres family was a large presence in the North Auburn community. Many memories of the strawberry farm that kept many kids in the area busy in the summer. Some of my siblings were classmates with the Kehres family. Tony and Rusty were nearest to my age. May your strong faith and the love of family and friends be of comfort to you at this time.
