Condolences to Milly Kaiser
Seems like we have had a lot of sad news to share recently. Just received this note from Joyce Pyatt.
We've learned today that Milly Kaiser's mother Doris J Kaiser died Sunday, April 24, 2011 from a stroke that she suffered earlier in April. Visitation is this evening from 4-8 PM; services will be tomorrow, April 27, 1PM all at Denbo Funeral Home, English, Indiana.
Address for her father - Jim Kaiser is: 1296 N Williams Ridge Rd, Eckerty, IN 47116. Some of you will remember that Dr. Jim Kaiser was head of the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center for a number of years.
Milly has been with her family since her mother's stroke and currently anticipates returning to southern Illinois later in the week. Contact us at ieafcslife@gmail.com if you need her home address.
Also, just heard from Debbie Simmons Gray today that her husband, Mike, is in the hospital for some tests. More on this later.
