2014 Kee Family Reunion

The Kee Klan - mid 1940s

After 20 years of graciously hosting our family reunions Aunt Mary and Uncle Denny are passing the torch. This year was the last one at their home in Collinsville. There's no way to really thank them for all the wonderful years of opening their home and making it possible for us all to gather there. Rain or shine (this year we had both) they went above and beyond for the sake of family coming together from all over (Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Florida, California, Oregon, and many other places over the years). For a few hours there would be lots of hugging, laughing, catching up, stories to share, new babies to see, and of course, remembering loved ones no longer there. Not sure who will pick up the torch, not sure when, or even if, there will be another Kee family reunion but one thing there will always be...memories. We'll always have the greatest memories. Thanks Aunt Mary and Uncle Denny and of course you too Aunt Donna. Thank you all so much.
