Jean Bayles Kirking

She made the two of us always and always feel special when ever we saw her... she totally focused on the each of us and our stories and sharing when ever we saw her! . Our mutual love for the "kids" from Lake Mills had us all in each other's hearts.

I will always remember her encouragement and help with 4-H speaking activities and leadership responsibilities. My deepest sympathies to my childhood neighbors!! Karie (Karls) Garfoot

Jean was a special friend to my Mom, Dorothy Podlasinski at Good Sam. My Mom misses Jean and talks about Jean's warm smile and thoughtful words. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Kirking Family. Love, Nancy Peterson

Dear Ann and Jeff, Our deepest sympathy at the lost of your mother. A mother's love can never be replaced but happy memories will help your hearts heal. Ann (Post) and Ted Heidenreich

Your mother was a very special friend to myself and my mother (Marion Markhardt). we belonged to the Elm Neighborhood Club and would reminisce of our old neighborhood when we got together. Jean was a wonderful person, always so interested in my family and how we were doing. She will not be forgotten. I wish I could attend the visitation and see your family; again, but regrettably. I work this weekend. Our prayers go out to ;your famil;y at this time of loss. Shirley (Markhardt) and Mike Pertzborn,
