It's with great sorrow we learn of your Mom passing. My Mom Jane Klitch, worked with your Mom and Dad for years. Lot's on hard work and just as much fun. Your Mom and Dad both brought a smile to many a face. My Mom is in Hospice now and we take it one day at a time. I can't help but think what heaven will be like when they have their reunion, loud for sure. Prayers for your days ahead. May the love you shared bring you confort and joy. I've never know parents more proud of their family. Cindy Klitch Evans

Dear Tim, Terrie, Whitney & Katie,

Growing up next door to one another and seeing each other almost every day, you all were like our extended family.

Virginia was a strong, generous woman, and especially, a very good friend to our Mom. With each visit, she brought support and laughter into our home.

Though you miss her terribly, she will always live in your heart and thoughts. May she rest in Peace.

with love,
Loretta
