Happy Birthday to our Mom, Grandma and GG. Happy 60th Birthday!

Love, Love you Mom! — B.J. — Your family

Thank you Thank you Words cannot begin to express how grateful we are for the love and support shown to our family since the loss of our Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and GreatGrandpa. Whether you spoke kind words or shared a special memory, sent a card, flowers, or a memorial, brought food or other necessities, or simply thought of us, your kindness is greatly appreciated.

The Family of George Kielman
