Dear Kjeldgaard's
Loren was the sweetest, most wonderful neighbor a person could ever have. He was there for me in so many ways and I am grateful he was a part of my life.
I like to think he and my grandparents, Duane and Lurabelle, are now sharing a cup of coffee,freshly baked bread and a good laugh. May God bless you all; my prayers are with you.
