I am so glad I had the honor of knowing Mr. Killackey. I loved visiting him on Sunday mornings. He had such a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor. I will miss our chats and all the cupcakes and candy he made me take home. God Bless him and keep him.

Dear Bob, Christianne, Mary, Katie and Lauren,
It's so hard to lose a parent, and especially BOTH parents in such a short time. But I think they needed to be together, and your Mom called him to be with her. We can only hope that they are happily reunited , without illness, only love, and joy that they can watch over all of you together.
Love and prayers,
Sue and Tom Beck
