  10. The Ostrander family

    Guys, are thoughts and prayers are with you always.
    Our families have known each other for so long and to have this happen like it did is ironic.
    But like Dad said they have probably already started a study group in heaven, with no sandwiches just dessert?.
    So many great memories!

    • philip Kish

      Hi Ostranders,
      Thank you for thoughts, prayers, and kind words. They have helped us get through this difficult time. We know you are dealing with the recent loss of your Mom (Pat). I am sure our mom’s are together enjoying all the wonderful things in heaven.
      Your kindness is appreciated.
      Sincerely,
      Kish Family

    I had the privilege of working behind Nancy for many years at M&I, and her unfailingly cheery attitude and willingness to help made every team she was apart of better. She was warm, funny, caring, and supportive, and I have cherished her friendship then and through the years since. My condolences to each of you-what a blessing Nancy was!

    • philip Kish
