Dear Claussen family,
I can't express my sorrow enough. Thank you all so much for getting mom there in time to say good bye. We would have but it meant more coming from you. She said she wouldn't trade it for the world. Another thing we wouldn't trade for the world is the time we all got to spend on the 4th this summer. It is even more valuable now.
We all love you and are sorry we can't be there, but know that we are in spirit.

Love you all very much... the Pantos Family
