I knew your parents when I lived in Belleville. Your mother and I worked together for a few years at the Savings & Loan. I am so sorry to hear about your Fathers passing. I did not know that your Mother had passed away and I am very sorry to learn of that too. We had lost touch over the years after I moved to Virginia.
Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Sincerely,
Amy Oberbauer

Dad,
You have only been gone just a few short days but I miss you so dearly. I want you to know that I love you very much and this world has suffered a great loss, not just me.
Thank-you for all the wonderful thing you have done for me and I will cherish you in my every last memory.
You are the best Father any child could ever had have and the greatest Grand-father as well.
Your smile and warm thoughts have blessed us, your family and your friends, for a lifetime.
I love you and will always.
Please take care of mom up there in heaven and I hope the both of you can watch over Kelly and I to make sure we make the right decisions in our life.
If you can, please give us small signs so we know you are still with us.
I love and miss you both!
Love Always,
Kim

Ron Klotz was our neighbor for the last 3 1/2 years. He was a kind man, quick with a smile and a wave. He was thoughtful, too, and mowed a section of the lawn that was ours regularly. We pass his house everyday and it looks so sad and empty. We will miss you, Ron.
