Princess Ann and Sidney, we were sorry to hear of Princess’s death. We regret we will not be at the visitation or graveside service, as we are not leaving home, even having groceries delivered, and not shopping. Until we have a vaccine we will not be going anyplace. Please know you are in our thoughts. We send our love to you and your families. Cindy and Bob Keller

You certainly have my sympathy on the loss of your lovely mother. She was always very kind to me. She and Robert moved into the home in which I grew up as a child.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
