" McKeever Family - Dear friends: Marilia and I (Joe Rodrigues) and our brasilian family want to say that we love Gloria (for us, she is still alive, because good people never died! Ken, Linda and all the Mckeevers: be strong and keep going. She lived a beautiful life! She always was a good friend of mine, during my one year in Farmington Community High School, when I was living with the Guidi's Family (Elmer, Marj, Brad, Cathe and Todd and the whole family). And she never forgot to write to me all those years from 1966 till recently. Great friend! Love always, Joe, Marilia and family (Curitiba, Paraná State, Brasil)."

Thinking of you all - Connie"
