The Kirk Family

Dear Preschool Parents,

Most of you know by now we have sad news. George Kirk is in our Butterfly Class on M/W/F. His brother William is in 2nd grade here at St. Joan of Arc. Their father, Charley, passed away late Friday evening after back surgery following a bicycle accident Wednesday evening.

Our school counselor, Susan Tsangaris, talked to the 2nd grade class today. George was at school today and was his usual happy self. Although he did not mention his Dad today, I am sure he will be talking about this in our classroom. If you or your children need to talk to someone, Mrs. Tsangaris is available as well as Fr. Guy Roberts, our pastor.

I am asking anyone who has a child who dismisses at 3:00 P.M. Thursday afternoon to please pick up your child by 2:30 this Thursday. We will be attending services at 3:00 P.M. If your child is enrolled in after-care with Brittney, she will be here.

Please keep the family in your prayers. Liz Bradshaw, parent of Toby (1st), Sally and Jack (preschool) is coordinating meals for the family. lbradshaw37@yahoo.com.

Charley Kirk's funeral service will be held at North United Methodist Church this Thursday the 17th at 3 p.m. (38th and Meridian Streets).

Please forward this message to anyone who may want to pay tribute to Charley and the happy, faithful and loving husband, father, friend and neighbor he was.
Thank you,
Peggy Kline
