Al, you knew Jackie was one of the sparks that lit up our Class of 1970 at CHS — you married her! My heart is heavy today but lifted by the memory of Jackie’s sharp, wry wit, her unstoppable good nature and supportive spirit. Memory eternal.

Mr. Steeby so sorry to hear of your loss of Ma Steeby. She was such a blessing to know in my life. I will always cherish all the memories we shared at Aunt Kelly's farm house and down at the Kent County Youth Fair. She truly left many memories with so many people and helped so many people in her life. She was such a great person to my mom also. Stephanie McKay (Carpenter) Karen Carpenter
