We are deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of one of our biggest supporters,
Mr. John B Yowell
Exec VP & COO, ODFL
John was one of the first to personally donate to our cause and to
offer his company's services to help us keep our promise to Kate. He
was the first to buy a bracelet and allowed us to offer them for sale to
his employees. He also helped with many fundraisers for several other
area charities. John was a good and faithful servant. He lead with
his heart and backed it up with his wallet. He will be missed by one
and all. Our prayers and deepest sympathy go out to his family. Exec VP & COO, ODFL
Kaleb Rancer
It is with great sadness we report that Kaleb Rancer passed away this morning (3-17-11) at Duke University Medical Center. Little Kaleb was the newest member of our K4K Kids family. Kisses4Kate has been working with the Rancer family and friends to raise money to help with their finances & uninsured medical expenses. Our heartfelt prayers go out to his parents and sister.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Dave Mitchell. Dave died suddenly and unexpectedly, November 29, 2011.
Dave was one of Kisses4Kate's earliest supporters and promoters. He worked with the Rick Ware Racing team, and was responsible for putting the "KISSES4KATE" logo on the truck in the nationally-televised Nascar series which ran on September 3, 2010.
This was a huge boost of confidence as we undertook the near-impossible goal of raising money for a home for the Thornton family.
Dave was the person that said "you can do this.. you can make this happen".
We were so very thankful that on Kate's first night in her new home, she was able to sit in the family's new den and watch HER Kisses4Kate truck on television.
Dave, we will never forget that you believed in us, from the beginning. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your wife Danielle, and your children Morgan and Chase. May God strengthen and comfort your precious family.
