Dear Cheryl:

We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your lovely family. Your mother was a treasure. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget how kind your mother was to me. Remember when I rode my bike all the way to your house to see you and play the Game of India with you? She was so sweet to me, so gracious and loving always. I will never forget her.

Love and hugs,

Allwyne & Nick Kleszczewski

Dear Cousin Cheryl, So sorry here about Aunt Fonda. There was only 1 year difference between mother/Jenniel/niece and Aunt Fonda's age. I always loved Aunt Fonda and will miss her.
