Please accept my condolences at the passing of Mabel. She was a dear friend of my late mother, Elizabeth Gilroy Kunna, and I know Liz is welcoming Mabel to Heaven so that they can enjoy many more travels and trips together. What a great lady and good soul she was!##imported-begin##Richard Gilroy##imported-end##
My sympathy to Mabels family in your time of loss of such a wonderfull Lady. I'm glad I was able to visit with her a few times in the last few months. I wish She would have been able to come to CHH but I'm glad for Her that she bypassed us and went right on to her Heavenly Home. She was an amazing person and a great teacher to many including our son Jeremy. She will be missed by many.

I was saddened to read in the paper of Mrs. Kiel's passing. My sympathies to the family. I was a recent aide who spent time with your mother and was happy to spend those weeks with her. We shared stories and I was glad I got to share and bring her the jar of spiced peaches I canned. She was so happy with those !
She was a sweet lady in the short time I knew her.##imported-begin##Kathy Bookie##imported-end##

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Mrs. Keil touched my life in many different ways ever the years. The most recent, that brings a smile to my face is...Her approaching me in Meijer and saying aren't you Peggy Nummerdor. I was amazed and shared with her how God is Good. I love her and she will be missed dearly.##imported-begin##Peggy Nummerdor Cameron##imported-end##
We were so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She & your dad were very good friends of Wayne's parents many years ago. Waynes parents are both gone now. It is never easy to lose a parent or a grandparent. Our hearts go out to all of you##imported-begin##Wayne & Beth Vinkemulder##imported-end##
Known to me as Aunt Mabel I remember her as a kind, compassion person.Having planted some of the blueberries on the farm she and husband Don owned my memories go back a long way. She taught our last child at Ferry. She will be missed by many who's lives she touched. Our prayers are with those who sorrow##imported-begin##Ed and Mary Jo Klomp##imported-end##
We had many fond memories of visiting Mabel in her home. I also enjoyed teaching with her at Ferry School.
She always wished before our communion prayer that all of family would know the Lord.
She was a wonderful servant and was very proud of her family. We are unable to attend the service as we are in Florida.##imported-begin##Steve and Diana Groters##imported-end##

Unfortunately we cannot attend as we are in Wisconsin but will be thinking of you.##imported-begin##Jayne Austn & Roger Krese##imported-end##
Kiel family,
Mrs Kiel meant so much to me. She taught me and my siblings to love learning and adventure. May God's presence and love be with you as you remember her and say goodbye.
Sincerely,
