Relatives of the Rick Gee family wish to thank the many individuals from the various communities who volunteered their time, their food, their money and their kindnesses.

We appreciate the hard work of the Fricke-Calvert-Schrader funeral home, the dedication of the Peoria hospital personnel, the baby's special 24-hr friends and those whose countless efforts are working diligently to bring legal justice for our loved ones.

Further, we would like to thank the many people who are sending monetary gifts through the fund established by the United Methodist Church of Lincoln. Additionally, a "Gee Family Memorial Fund" has been set up through the CEFCU banking system.

Judi Koehler, Lincoln
