Ma Kiszie and Donna,
It has been brought to my attention by Desra that it REALLY hasn't been that long ago since I too had to let my Dad go. And Donna when I realize that Desra is now at the age where it was, if I'm not mistaken, your Mom and Dad first gave us the label "The Girls." We were our own sort of sorority amongst ourselves and we dubbed your Mom and Dad, Ma Kiszie and Dad Kiszie (I don't even recall my own parents being christened as Ma Arrington and Dad Arrington). I say this to say that your parents were special to all of us "Girls".
Ma Kiszie, I love you. You and Dad Kiszie made it obvious to all of us that you two shared an "Endless Love." One more thing...Do you remember who the last couple left dancing for the number of years married at Nell's reception...Ma and Dad Kiszie.
May God continue to show his favor on your family.
From one of "The Girls"

Dear Vivian,
You and Phil were the most handsome couple I've ever seen
and you matched it with a very meaningful relationship with all that knew you. Such memories of Phil
are treasures that we shall always
remember.

Dear Mom Kiszie, Donna and Skip,
Pop Kiszie was a wonderful and giving person. He was upbeat, had a great sense of humor, and would do anything for anyone. He will definitely be missed. My prayers are with you all.
Love,
Marcia

Phil
Sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I know he was your hero and you loved him so much. The picture of him in the paper looked like it was from the vacation you all took together. What nice memories you shared! I will remember you all in my prayers.

Dear Vivian:
I hope that will remember me. I was the paralegal in Brentwood that got to know you and Phil back in 2005. You were the sweetest, kindest folks..such a delight to be around...and I am so very saddened to learn of Phil's death. He was a lovely man.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers, Vivian.

Dear Family:
Ever thankful am I that my Savior and Lord
Promised unto the weary sweet rest;
Nothing more could I ask than a mansion above,
There to live with the saved and the blest.
Hallelujah!
His kingdom is forever.
In Deepest Sympathay, we are,
