Kathryn Q. Radecker
Ken and Keith,
Let me begin by saying I loved Shirley Mae Keller. When I think of her, I am so thankful to your brother Kirt for his great insight into your mothers and my personalities. From the young age of 17 who would have thought she would become my second mom and I her daughter she never had.
I want you to know what a privilege it was for me to have Te in my life. I want you to know what a contribution she made to me and how she enriched my life every day by who she was. I want you to know that our relationship had a glowing depth, beauty and joy as the years increased.
I guess you can say our relationship was sort of a divine accident. I am very lucky to have known Shirley Mae and carry her memory and love with me forever in my heart.
Love,
Kathy Radecker
