TOM BIXBY lost his dad yesterday, calling it “a blessing.”  He appreciates all your thoughts and prayers. He is currently without internet and cannot respond individually but wants everyone to know he appreciates your kindness. 

He hopes to catch up soon.

Bix (assuming you get your internet squared away :D), it was great to chat with you on the phone yesterday.  Your Pop taught you how to fish.  I think that there is something in the Bible about that......

Remembering Betty King, Denise's mom. A wonderful lady with a warm, chuckling laugh, who also was our Girl Scout leader with Mrs. Browne. I think Denise got her laugh from her mom.  I believe my introduction to banana boats came from her at GS camp. Condolences to Denise and her family on a loss that is never easy. 🌺🌺🌺

Nancy Rogers (Williams)

Betty King was a special lady.  I had the opportunity to know her as Denise's spunky mom, but also through Gamma Phi Beta sorority, where she was a very active alumna, from her many years at Platte Valley State Bank, and also helping her with decorating her new townhome in northeast Kearney.  She was full of life.  She will be missed by many in the Kearney community.  My heart goes out to you, Denise, and all your family.  

Wayne Garrelts

So sorry to hear about your Mom, Denise. As Candi and Nancy have already said, she was a special lady and may your memories carry you through. God Bless!

Mike Blocher

So sorry for your loss Denise. I always thought of your mother as a beautiful cowgirl. You too for that matter. 

Denise King (Capek)

Thank you all for your kind words.  Mom passed away at age 97.5 so she had a long and full life.  Even though it was her time, there is still a hole in my heart

Just wanted to let everyone know, that my Brother Richard "Dick" Garrelts (class if '70) passed away on Thursday Dec. 23rd, 2021! He was a friend to many of this class. He was a great brother and a friend to many and will be truly missed. Please keep him and his family in your prayers and help keep his memory alive. He was pivotal in helping with all the Original Rowdy Celebrations! A Memorial donation in his name to the Rowdy fund at the KHS Foundation would be appreciated as I know he would have wanted that! 

Will miss you brother!

Mary, Denise, and Martha,

Thank you for your kind words. I have many many wonderful memories of a life lived to the fullest on Dick's part. He not only left a wonderful family but many many friends and so many from the '69ers. Thank you all again! Hope all of your Christmases has been merry and very blessed. He definitely was quite the guy! THANK  YOU AGAIN!

Although I certainly new Dick Garrelts in high school, I got to know him much better over the past 6 years or so.  He worked tirelessly and with great joy when it came to celebrating and preserving the Rowdy Section legacy at KHS.  R.I.P. Dick.

Friends, my FaceBook account has been hacked and will probably be going away. I may set up another in the future. Some of you were on my friends list. I apologize for not being in touch with you.
