    I am sorry to hear about your mom. I worked with her at Fun House. She was a great person and friend.

    So sorry to hear. She was a peach, always in a good mood, always had a nice thing to say. I tended bar with her at FH. She would always end the night the same way; with a smile and “it was fun”. God Bless her soul.

    She was a great lady. I worked with her at Fun House in 1989. She always had a smile and a kind word for us “kids” Sorry for your loss.

    I’m so sorry to read about your mom passing away. My mom and I really enjoyed meeting her and talking to her. I wish I had known her more since you are my half sister…and we should have been told about each other when we were young. My heart goes out to you, Kendra, and to your children and family. Sending you my love and saying a prayer to the Lord that He will surround you with His comfort. You can also be comforted from all the wonderful memories you have growing up with your dear mother.

    Sweet Kendra,
    I never realized she was your mother till recently.
    She was always one of my “other mothers ” at FH. Irene, Marilyn, Maxine & Nadyne always took care of me.

    Nothing but hugs and thanks for being there!

    Hugs and prayers to you.
    Your Mom touched so many lives with her kind heart & gentle smile.
    She will truly be missed!

    I was so very sorry to hear of Nadyne’s passing. We were friends from her Prince Howard days and for years after. Such a huge Chiefs fan and loved football in general. She would even cheer for my K-State Wildcats for me. She used to help me track the Chiefs back when they were bad….really bad…in the mid 90s. I was living overseas and couldn’t get any news on them but she would call and leave me a voicemail with the score and let me know how the team was doing. I really regret not seeing her in the past few years. She really meant a lot to me. So very sorry to know she is gone. She was a wonderful person.
