To Uncle Bob and the "Klein Clan" as I know and Love each one of you,
Aunt Laurie was a wonderful person always honest and never shy. She and Uncle Bob brought up ten wonderful children, each will carry her legacy on in there own special way. I want to give each and everyone of you a big hug. Your Mom and Wife was a very special person. This time is so tough but with strenght you will get through it. Aunt Laurie is up there with my Dad now, not sure if they are trying to figure out who is right in the convo or just loving Us as they both do and will always. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Maybe we have not seen each other in a long time but each one of the Klein Clan has made a major good impression on me and I Love You all............. Hugs,



Kimmie

Mom- So many people and friends will miss the laughter you brought to them. You made us all really strong and we thank you for that. I will always love you and you will be carried in my heart forever. I miss you so much already, what a whole you left inside me. Love You!!

Very saddened to hear about the loss of Mrs. Klein.
Only knowing her for a short time, I will have fond memories of her presence at each and every one of my daughter's softball games this past summer.
Offering coaching advice to her grandaughter (welcome or not), providing unwavering support for her great-grandaughter and all of the girls....everyone will miss this great fan.
It won't be the same without her next season.
God Bless.

Shawna, Colleen and Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear about your mom. What a spectacular woman (and the GREATEST cheerleader)! I will never forget crossing the finish line after a cross country race to find her standing with beverages and snacks. God Bless!

Aunt Laurie, we'll miss you! You were forever the life of the party. Funny, honest, direct, with a sense of humor that everyone who new & loved you always enjoyed. When I was wrong, you let me know it, and sometimes let me have it, whenever deserved! Brenda & I will always have a tender place in our hearts for you. We all loved you.

To The Entire Klein Family,
My family was sadden to hear about Grandma Klein. She was my first softball coach when I started playing at the age of 5. I still play today with Shawna and Shelly. Gram Klein was at one of our games 2 weeks ago still coaching me... keep your feet still, turn @ your hips... everytime I was up to bat. She was a WONDERFUL LADY & will be greatly missed. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
