I think of Daddy and Mom everyday. I came across the link to the guestbook while cleaning out my old email today. Mom wanted this guestbook permanent and I am so thankful for that. The one for Mom is also permanent but I have yet to go out onto it and write or read the entries. I think I can do that now. This month, on the 25th, will be their 71st Wedding Anniversary. Time just goes by so fast and it is hard to believe that Mom has been gone over 2 years already and Dad almost 13 years. They...

Daddy and Mom,
Missing you both so much today I think my heart will never mend. Never knew it would be this hard. Mom, I don't think I can ever thank you enough for the unconditional, never ending love you had for Daddy and all of us. I thought of you every day and am sad life got so hectic that we didn't talk every day. I know you want us all to be happy for you now that you can breathe easy and are with the love of your life, but I am feeling very selfish today and miss you both so...

Hello, Klemke Family,
I am so thrilled to have found this page and be able to share my memories of Bob. What a precious man! I can't think of Bob without smiling and remembering him telling jokes, wisecracks, and always exuding happiness. To say he loved camping and fishing...that would be an understatement! He breathed it in and breathed it out...loving nature and the thrill of it all. I will never forget my first ever water skiing lesson behind his boat at Rice Lake! Or how hard he...

Hi Darling, I just wanted to tell you we are great, great grandparents today. Jordi had a little girl at Dupont Hospital at l2:49 today. She named her Annalynn Elizabeth. She weighed 6 lbs and l4 oz and was 20 inches long. She has the Klemke nose. Sandy was there when she was being born. We went to
Curves this morning and had lunch with Marsha. Joe and Marsha and Tony and Susie have both moved from here. Joe and Marsha live north of Churubusco...

I think of my Grandpa everyday. I can't seem to let go. I feel sometimes that I can pick up the phone and he will be on the other end. I miss the messages he left on the answering machine; the messages that seemed like he wanted me to answer him back. I miss his smile and the way he could always make me feel better, no matter what was wrong. I miss sitting in the boat with him, even if it never left the shore. The times we would sit down to watch a movie and he would be asleep before the...

We just went through the holiday season once again without Dad's physical presence in our lives. He is with us though in spirit so strong. January 4th would have been his 82nd birthday on this earth. Now time means nothing to him and he has an eternity to enjoy in peace. I just felt like writing in his memory book to let all of his family and friends that read this know that he is only a thought or a memory away. I can still hear his jokes and his songs and his laughter in my head. I can...

Hi Darling, I was thinking of you and wanted to tell you about my day today. This would have been your mother's birthday. This past year has gone pretty fast, the kids want to keep me busy most of the time. Donna, Max and I went out to the hospice home Sunday to see the memory brick we got for you. It's really pretty and just outside your room. Max has patched the floors that needed new hardwood and we have the stain on all of it. He's trying to fix above the sink and then I'll put new...
