My deepest sympathy Kerin and family, will keep your family in my prayers
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.
Sorry to hear of Mrs Smiedeke’s passing. We were neighbors for a long time, a long time ago. Prayers for you all.
Nancy was my neighbor at NCR, such a sweet lady. My condolences on her passing.
I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in the time of sorrow and may Nancy rest in peace.
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.
