Please accept my condolences on the loss of Virginia. She lived around the corner from us for many-many years and as kids, we used to visit her often and sit on her front porch swing which I believe still sits there. As of last year, I still see her taking her long walks or even riding her bike near the beaches here. I remember her as a very humerous and joyous individual, always had that beautiful smile. God has 1 of the BEST now. I know I will miss seeing her around as I have for many-many years. May God comfort you and be with you during this time. I hate to see her go!!!!!! She was a kind, caring soul.

I will always remember growing up next door to Mrs. Kick, she was one of the most intelligent women I know. I remember as a kid sitting on her porch swing and swinging as high as it would go!!! My mom and her were good friends and I remember them taking walks together and the wonderful fresh smell of her laundry drying on the clothes line. What a wonderful lady!!! Kick family please know that I am thinking about you today just in case I cannot make it up there. I know you will miss your mom as I do mine, but I have a feeling they will be taking a long overdue walk and sharing a nice conversation together in heaven.

Your mom was such a sweet lady. I used to play with Ginny back in the day and your Mom was always so kind to me. I know how difficult it is and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother; I will always remember her as the lady who walked and rode her bike around South Haven.

Ginny, Kate, and Fred -- our heartfelt sympathies. We mourn her loss, but celebrate her strong spirit and irrepressible sense of humor -- and just imagine what a Chicago Cubs cheering section there will be -- heaven will never be the same!

Kate, I am so sorry about your mom, but as you said when I saw you this summer, it sounded it was time for her to let go. I'm sure she is happy and now able to coninously cheer for her Cubbies! I know you will miss her terribly. She was an awesome lady and a wonderful person. Know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Kate and family, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I crossed paths with her just about every day on my way home from work. I always drive down to the south beach and up water street to get home. That's when I'd see her. I believe your mother and my aunt Doris Haines are now walking down another water street to watch a beautiful sunset together. GOD bless you and yours. Rob Van Wynen

Hi Kate, I was sorry to hear about your Mom, but wow... she lived a nice, long life. I'm sure you have many, many happy memories to reflect upon. It's a bummer losing our parents. I am so sorry I didn't make the visitation... I meant to. Hope to see you around sometime. Love, -Rhonda

Ginny & Kate:I was sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I remember her back from the days at Jericho School. I always saw her walking and would pass her when I would walk my dog, when she lived in town. She was always smiling and happy.I hope we all have her spunk and zest for life. Peace be with you and your family.Wendy

Kick Family, I've lived in the same neighborhood as Mrs. Kick since I was 2 years old. I'd always ride my bike around the block & she'd say hi & wave everytime! I'd see her walking all over town in her Cubs jacket. I've picked her up quit a few times & gave her a ride home when she was walking in the winter. She made me cold just looking at her walking in the winter! What a wonderful woman & I'm glad I got to enjoy her for 35 years of my life. So sorry for you loss.
