Serena was a kind & beautiful woman. I am sad that we lost touch when Maury passed but understand that "we all grieve differently", which is what she told me. The Keliher family meant so incredibly much to me and I am so very grateful for that part of my life. Blessings to Serena's children & grandchildren.

I worked with Serena at KTOQ Radio in Rapid City. She was a consumate professional and a joy and delight to work with. We would often go out after work for Happy Hour with the staff and we would laugh and laugh! She had an infectious smile and giggle. Such a lady! God Bless.

Oh, how my heart breaks with sadness. The Lord Our Savior has gained an amazing Soul. Serena would watch me in the early mornings in the dining room while enjoying her favorite, “Strawberry Yogurt”, not taking her eyes off me too long, so I could give her a smile & wave. Deb & Tom your endless caring for your mother was a blessing to see. As I left her room yesterday, I could feel God saying it’s okay now, my Serena is at Peace. Much love to all of you,

My condolences in your loss of your precious Serena. I’m sure she is now enjoying her heavenly reward in heaven. I had the privilege of trimming her hair a few times at St Martins. I love reading the obituaries of the precious people the Lord allows me to do the hair of. At the stage of life they are in when I meet them I never really know who they are and what life they have lived up to that point but I try to be as respectful and kind to them as possible knowing they are precious to Jesus. In the Word of God it says “to be away from the body is to be present with the Lord” and “precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints”. Take comfort knowing where your precious Serena is now.
