Dan Kelley

Bernard and Marlene Brooker Kelley's son is battling cancer. He looks to be on the winning side right now but we know he can use all the love, prayers and support he can possibly get. Gary Cornelison's family used Caring Bridge when he was ill and Dan's family is doing the same. I will try to be better about getting posts to this website but you all can help me out too.

Also if you note at the bottom of the page on the Brooker Family Postings blog you will find where you can sign up your email for notification of new posts. If you are like me that can be most useful to have that reminder.

A Celebration of Life for Helen Joan Kern will be held October 8^that the home of Jeff and Susie Pickett .

Email from Mike:  “Mom said she wanted her ashes spread at the coral beach volleyball courts where brother Jeff used to play volleyball.  When she requested that she thought Jeff’s ashes had already been spread there.  That isn’t the case.  Tamra still has Jeff’s ashes.  We have all decided to spread Jeff’s and Moms ashes together there in a personal family gathering with family members only.  Thank you everyone for all the condolences and interest in attending a funeral but this is the way we have decided Mom would like it to be done.”

Condolences can be mailed to Mike Kern and Family, 1475 Moreno, Simi Valley, CA 93063 and Susie Pickett and Family,  539 Valley Gate Road, Simi Valley, CA 93065.

Thanks,

Joan Kern

All,
I had a lengthy visit with Susie, Joan's daughter, yesterday - September 6th.  The family will be having a Celebration of Life in memory of Joan at a later date.  No date has been set. 
Susie shared that a lot of Joan's closest family and friends visited her over the Labor Day weekend bringing her gifts of food.  She did see a picture of her new Great Grandaughter at that time. 
Monday morning the caregiver found her unresponsive.  She died peacefully in her sleep.

Joann Kerns Great grandbaby

All,

We just received word that Joann passed away in her sleep this morning.  Susie will call later with more information. 

One can't help but think she was waiting for that little Great Grandbaby to be born. 

 Lillyanna was born September 1.
