Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Our families wish to express our deepest sympathies for the Knepper family. Mrs Knepper was always good to us and will always be remembered.
My dear friend Melody and family,
Your mother can now rest in peace because she is now in the Lord’s presence. She is looking down at all of us remaining “mere” mortals, and she is most assuredly laughing like mad at all of us left here awaiting our turn.
For you see, down here we all get caught up in the mundane and petty tasks and craziness of life, where we can take nothing from this life to the next.
She has found that out and is now up there in paradise where nothing down here matters!!! Except to always be kinder, loving, and more tolerant than necessary of each other and people’s differences! Life is just too short for anything else!
These are the things that matter in this crazy worldlife here on earth; for everything else is “just things” we will leave behind.
You and your family are in my prayers; and, if there is anything, I mean anything you need–you just give me a call.
Love you,
Donna
So sorry. My love and thoughts are with you. She was my best friend.
Love you all Helen.
I have known Nellie for over 20 years. She and I worked together for over 5 years. She was good at teaching me my job and doing her job efficiently. We shared numerous laughs with her and she loved her children and grandchild.I will miss knowing her presents on earth.
In my 24 years of life I was very lucky to feel the love and care only a grandmother like Nellie Knepper could give. Thank you grandma, you will be missed.
Love,
Eric
