Ma,

It is hard to put into words just how I feel. You were a remarkable woman. Since I was 16 and so young when my Mom passed away, you stepped in to finish preparing me for adulthood. You taught me the lessons that needed to be learned. With your love and guidance I turned into the woman that I am today. Thank you for everything and Thank you for such a wonderful husband- your son.

You will always be in my heart,
Dawn

Dear Knaus Family,
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Alice lived on the same street as my grandmother, Loraine Kline. I remember my grandmother took me for a walk to Alice's house. When i was there she was so very sweet to me. She gave me a red heart shaped box with teddy bears on it which I still have.
She was a very kind and loving person. May she rest in peace.

I am blessed to have had a grandmother who offered unconditional love, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life, and; most importantly, apple pie. You were the one woman I looked to for direction and will continue to do so. I, do, believe that you will make sure your family and friends are well taken care of. You will be tremendously missed by everyone you've crossed paths with. I love you and will be looking for those nickels to appear.

You guys were always like my second family when Robin and I were growing up. Hard to believe Gram won't be at the casino or Bingo anymore.
She was one of a kind, and sadly missed.
Love you all!!
