Mr. Kidwell was a delightful person to be around and had a wonderful sense of humor. He never had his devotional far from his side, and his commitment to his Christian faith was encouraging and inspirational. He will be missed.
Dear Family: We are sorry for your loss of your wonderful father, Maynard. Daniel was away in Alaska which is why we were unable to attend the funeral. We are keeping you in our prayers and thoughts. Love, Daniel (Dannie) and Lisa Hileman, Romney, WV
Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. (James 4:8)
