Kerry & Alice were a huge part of my life in the early to mid 90s. They went out of their way to give me a ride to church. Great sense of humor. Kind & generous. We lost a friend but God brought his child home!
Sincere condolences to the families of Kerri and Alice Ewing. They were wonderful people whom we had the honor and privilege of knowing them for most of our adult lives. God bless you both.

Kerry and I were cousins. We would see each other occasionally, mostly around holidays. We always had fun together during these times. As we got older and had families and jobs, we didn’t see each other often. One day when I was working at Zippo Mfg. I walked in the restroom and there standing at the sink was a guy who looked strangely familiar. He looked at me as I looked at him and we both said each other’s names. Kerry was there inspecting the boilers for his company. We had a conversation about what was going on in our lives and then he had to leave. It was a strange but good thing to happen.
