Although parting is never easy - it is the great memories we have that will help see us through. Robert, Jeff and all the Klotz family - my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rest Leo, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Cherish those memories you'll hold in your heart forever.
Celebrating a life well lived.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Everyone has their time
But why did yours have to come so soon?
There are so many people in the world
So why did God have to pick you?
They say things like this make you stronger
But how can that be?
I feel so weak inside It all feels like a dream
I didn't get to see you before
You passed away too soon
But I feel you watching over me
And someday I'll see you again.

Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I'll love and miss you always Grandpa!!
