William Claes

Ruth,
I have to tell you ... it has been a pleasure to have you both in my life. The times you would just stop by to tell me the stories of Charlie and how Bill and him would pick on each other. I am so going to miss them. You two were a big part of my life ... I will miss Bill so much. His smile and laughter will be with me as well as yourself. You are so loved, please give me a call if you need anything.
Love Kelly

Dear Aunt Ruth: You and Uncle Bill were like my other parents and a wonderful presence in my life. It was always a joyeous time when the two of you would walk over next door for a visit. I will never forget KYBO Brother! I remember the summer nights we spent in the basement hoping we wouldn't have a tornado. Remember the back yard party at Ron and Bev's? I had a happy, safe childhood and a very important part of that was having you and Uncle Bill next door. Love, Renee
