Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Grief is so hard, but those special memories we had with him helped us cope with the pain. Remembering those memories is the best thing ever because you feel like your loved ones are in a great place.

If I could ever see him again I would tell the story of the time I made is Ron stop and go back to my swing set when I once lived in Rock Springs, Wy. He was my great-grandfather. I miss him very much.

My great grandpa was really important to me.I wish I could see him again.

An incredible story and a full life lived. Condolences to his children Linda, Andrew, Jack and Margaret on the passing of Kleo. May reside in God's memory until its time for all to be resurrected back to a wonderful life again as He has promised.

I know that this is a very difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that God truly cares for you
and promises to make this earth a paradise in the very near future when you can see each other again. Ps 37:29
