Oh I am missing you. I am bringing myself to read through some of your memories and am realizing what kind of deep love you shared with so many. You were so present, so vivid, so caring. You made everyone feel like they were the only person in the room. And I'm still heartbroken for all who have lost such a soul.
You will be greatly missed by many!
Keiren "Guppie" was the childhood "peas & carrots" best girl friend of my husband "Corky" Meyer, who she took time to be with a few times before he passed in November. They were able to walk together in "Relays for life"... & get together more often after their diagnosis of 4th stage cancer. Corky was the Guinea pig for the clinical trial drug which Guppie was given. The anti-cancer hormone therapy drug now called "Ibrance" helped them live a few years longer. They shared much laughter, as anyone who knew Keiren... she had a sense of humor & a pure caring heart & infectious giggle. She helped him deliver the MKG Chronicle as a child & shared time sailing & bicycling. He walked past her house as they attended Bunker Elementary, where I met them in the 1960's. Many memories, & now they're angels together!
Sweet will be the day we dwell in our fathers house. Sweet will be the day!
Sweet will be the day when we dance down streets of gold. Sweet will be the day!
Sweet will be the day when
there are no more tears to wipe away, sweet will be the day!
Sweet will be the day that we meet again, my friend. Oh how, sweet will be the day!

I love you my sweet friend.
Keiren will be so missed. It was so special to see her and Roger when they came to visit his parents (our neighbors). She always had a smile no matter what. I was honored that she felt close enough to me and my mom that she could vent whatever was bothering her and we never judged her. Her faith was always strong and amazing. She is in the loving arms of our Lord resting (and talking really fast). We will miss you!
It seems like so long ago we were canoeing down the betsy river with our grandma. Even though we lived in N.Y. we got together just about every year. You will be missed cousin
