Dear Karen, Anna and the Cluver Family,
Whenever I think of "the Cluver Family" my mind also includes a picture of your "Grandma." She was always fun to be around. I didn't know her well but you, Anna, spoke of her so often. Since we love you like our own, we feel your sense of loss. Karen, I am well aware of the loss of a mother and my heart is with you at this difficult time. I know you two were close. Anna, it is hard being away from home at a time like this and after this week, the next time you come home you will feel even more lonesome for her. You were a good granddaughter. I know you and your Grandma made each other smile and laugh. Both are life's greatest gifts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.God's comfort and peace be with you. Lots of Love, Brenda Lea and Terry Kapper
