    Our condolences to the whole Kearns Family. We grew up together in the Village, our Mother, Gerry and all the other Moms were bingo and card partners. The last time I saw her was at a Church Bingo that I took my Mom to, where we ran into Gerry. I know that she'll be missed very much by all the Family, especially the Grand Children.

    Dearest Lenny, Billy, Doreen , Tommy , Sherry and your Families: Oh how sad I am as is the whole Gibb family with the loss of your Mom. Growing up she was our other Mother. Living next door to Gerry and Mr.Kearns we were always cared for as if we belonged to their family ! One of my wonderful memories as a little girl was Gerry cutting my hair. And she was the first of the "Village Moms" to let me babysit Doreen. She always made me feel special ! I know when she "stepped into the light of Grace" in Heaven Jesus was smiling, Mr. Kearns was standing behind Him and Mickey was waiting with open arms . And Jesus said "Life well lived my good and faithful friend". All your beautiful memories will live in your hearts forever !! Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, ALL will make you family. " Your wings we're ready but our hearts were not" !!! Lifting all of you up in loving thoughts and prayers Much love, Kathy (Gibb) Moeslein
