Kendall was one of our most enthusiastic "Read to Your Library Buddy" volunteers in the youth department of the Chelsea District Library for two summers in a row. You could tell she had been a teacher, as she was very organized in how she set up her reading booth, displaying several books aimed to catch the eye, and she was always ready to read! We are glad to have had her here at the CDL.

I admired Kendall's compassion and love for animals and her fun trips, like the parachute drop. She was fun to walk with and be with. I hope she is in heaven running, free from her confinement in the wheelchair.

I brought Kendell communion from St. Mary Church in Chelsea and got to know her and visit with her when I made my visit to Glazier Commons. She was a lovely and charming woman. I'm very sorry for your loss.
