Kim BalisBelated condolences to the Mcnaab family. My mother Laurel Duff who left us Dec 1st of 2023 had always stayed in touch and talked highly of the Mcnaabs throughout the years. Kathy was her sister in law. I remember them visiting mom once and my sister Jane visited them in Florida. A very nice obituary.
