    I am writing especially to Kerin. You were named after my mom Kerin Smith – my dad, Don Smith are both still alive- mom will turn 87 in January 18 and dad is 90. Both still living in their home in South county. I am their only child, Debbie Thuernau (née Smith). Your parents and my parents were friends while living in the Tower Grove area. If you have any interest in contacting them, my mom & dad would have a lot of stories to share. You can contact me at (314) 691-9897.

    Ed,
    So sorry for your loss. Losing a mother is trying no matter what age. You always look for them on every milestone. Again, sorry for your loss. Melanie and Bob Whitney.

    Ed,

    Sorry for your loss of your mother. My biggest memory is her playing yahtzee in your kitchen when you lived on W. Park. Prayers to you, Kerin and Shelia.
