All of my years growing up in Bloomington, we shared Thanksgiving and Christmas with Jing and Larry at my parents' home, Helen and Harry Buhl. We always looked forward to their coming from Springfield. They were always happy and thankful for the family event. Wonderful memories i treasure in my heart. Our prayers and thoughts are extended to all of the Kendall family. Your good memories will always keep Jing in your hearts. Kathleen and Mike Mitchell

My thoughts are with the whole family. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of holidays when your Mom and Dad would bring all of you to our house in Bloomington. You may remember the house had hardwood floors and a stairway and I remember one year when the boys all got cowboy boots and stomped up and down the steps in their new boots- it was loud but fun. I know your Dad was loved very much by my parents Aunt Helen and Uncle Harry Buhl. I am the youngest in our family with my sister Judy as the oldest, then Tom, then Kathleen. We all recall special times with all of you and Larry's family too.
