Sending my sympathy and prayers to the Kleinfelder family. Your Mom is now home and at peace. The ones left on earth still have to deal with the pain and sorrow. But that is all part of the circle of life. When I think of your Mom, I remember her smile and warmth. I was told her passing was peaceful. Hopefully that will give you some comfort. You are all in my prayers.
