Kathy & the Kloth Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful Cotton. He was a very special person and God must have needed him for something very special to call him home at such a young age. We will always remember what a wonderful friend he was to Chrissy. She loves him better than a brother and she loves you too Kathy. Keep Dave alive in your heart and he'll always be with you. Be brave Kathy and thank God for the time you had with Dave - you are truly blessed.

Dear Mr. Kloth and Family,
I am very saddened to hear of David's passing. We went through school together starting in 1st grade at Miller School (all us girls had a crush on him)and throughout highschool. He was always such a sweet and kind person, always smiling and happy. I always enjoyed seeing him after highschool and catching up with him when we ran into each other. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear family of David,

I am so sorry for your loss. I just learned of his passing last night at the Merrillville class reunion. Kris as you know, I too have lost a sister and a brother and know how difficult it can be. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Paul & Joanie,

Just learned of your son, David's passing. We send our deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family. Losing your son is not easy and time does not help, but will ease somewhat. This, I know, because I still feel a deep loss for my son, Bruce, who passed away three years ago today.

Kloth Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Dave...he was a great guy. He was the best man in my first wedding, and my son David's godfather. I have so many wonderful memories of him from when we were young. I hadn't seen him in many years, but always thought we'd see each other again.

Kloth Family; my mother, Shirley Remijan, told me about David's passing yesterday and although you all may not remember me, I was Nick Makivich & Shirley Remijan's oldest daughter. David and I played together as children and he was my first "boyfriend". (We were only 5 years old! ) I remember playing in your huge backyard, picking apples, playing by the creek with David and running wild. Looks like he never lost his inner child! How wonderful! Prayers and peace for you all.

Family and Friends,

It is so hard to lose someone let alone such a young man. I knew David from High School and thought of him often. I am glad to read that he was so full of life.

Kathy, I lost my husband at age 40 suddenly. It is very difficult but he will be with you as will God through the trying times ahead. If you would like to talk (email) I have enclosed my email address.

God Bless,
