Cindy was always friendly and had a quick laugh. Lots of energy. It was wonderful to read how much she accomplished in life professionally and that a loving family life was at the core of her world. ??
Bravo, Cindy! Ya done good. Rest up then start exploring those other dimensions. Put that curiosity to work. ??
Rest in peace, Connie. We grew up going to Washington Grade School together and sometimes playing in our neighborhood. You were shy and quiet but sweet and quick to smile. Enjoy your next journey. ??

Some of my favorite memories of high school are thanks to Mark. He was so fun and funny...a really nice guy who also enjoyed being a bit of a trickster. He got me in trouble all the time in chemistry class because I couldn't stop laughing at his antics and he liked seeing me get called on by the teacher. All in all, a smart, kind, talented guy. Have fun on your next journey, Mark. Condolences to Teresa and family.
Starting in kindergarten at Washington Elementary, Margaret became a staple in our lives. And, several of us were also Campfire Girls with her in the same troop. She was more mature than most of us and provided role modeling for us. I always looked to her with awe and respect.
It was clear to everyone that Margaret was one of THE smartest in our classes all the way through grade school, Franklin Junior High, and MHS. While at Washington, a teacher (I think sixth grade) asked us to report on how many books we had read during the school year. Most of us said between 2-4. Margaret said 65! I was dumbfounded and instantly felt inadequate. Holy buckets! 65 "chapter books"! Quite the feat. It challenged me to read more and do to this day. Margaret always set the bar higher for all of us when it came to academics and learning.
Rest In Peace with a good book while basking out in nature, Margaret. Thanks for being you.

Welcome back, Bob and Marni! Enjoy getting settled back into your hometown.
Colleen was a one of a kind - so much personality wrapped up in one person. I saw her a few times after high school and her vibrant nature was always present. I admired her quick wit, ability to be silly, brilliant intelligence, courage to speak up, adventurous spirit, amazing accomplishments, and her kindheartedness. You can't help but smile when you think of her. After reading all the comments on mykeeper, she was clearly loved by those who knew her no matter where she took root - both here and around the world. Colleen will be missed by many but there is no doubt she is off on a new adventure finding family, seeing old friends, and making new ones - in another realm. Have fun, Colleen! Enjoy the next journey - and thanks for all you gave to this world. ??

Rest In Peace, Gail.
Looks like you spent a little bit of life living in heaven, Rick, hanging out in those gorgeous mountains. Hope that's where you are now. Thanks for sharing your great smile and good spirit with us during our time at MPS. RIP
Rest In Peace, Charlie.
Congratulations Lynn on your induction into the MWHS Hall of Fame!! Being a retired former 2nd grade elementary teacher for 30 years, I want to thank you for all the contributions you've made to society and positive improvements in educating our children of today!!!
Rest in heaven, Orv. You were always very nice all throughout the years while we were growing up in Mankato - both in school and at church. So glad you found peace, quiet, and beauty at Silver King Mine. We will miss you but remember you at the reunion.
When I remember Anne from church and high school, I see her constant big smile, hear her quick laugh and friendly words, feel her high energy and her heart full of kindness. A lovely person that the world will miss.
Be free, Anne, and enjoy the next journey! I am sure you are already leading heaven in a rousing cheer.
I will always remember you, Jim, as having a devilish twinkle in your eye and a big, cute smile on your face. You were so fun, a star athlete, and helped bring good energy to our class. Hoping you are having a great time wherever you are...tossing a few touch downs, hitting some home runs, catching a few fish, and munching on a Nut Goodie while hanging with your buddy, Sitka. Enjoy the peace, Jim.
