I was one of Mrs. McKindley's 3rd grade students--class of 1970-71 at South. She was such a warm, kind, and caring woman. I just loved her. She was a wonderful teacher. We are all better people having had her as a teacher. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jack,Ann,David,
I am so sorry to learn about Nancy passing so suddenly due to her injury. I remember her as such a cherry, upbeat, interesting neighbor on Algonac Dr in Grandville. May God sustain you with all His comfort and love as you move forward each day.

My thoughts and prayers are with the McKindley and Mulcahy families.
I have typed more, but keep erasing my words because I cannot find the right words to express what Mrs. McKindley meant to my family. She was like a grandmother to me and I will always remember her.
David Colvin.
