To Klash Family So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. It is hard to believe after all these years not to have her around. I’m so glad we were able to stop and see her in Nov. I remember my saturdays watching television at her house before my parents got a TV. What a wonderful classy lady. Love to all Fran & Larry miceli
I am the first granchild of Anne Klash and was named after her by middle name. She was a shining example of Christian love and devotion. We, her family, were so fortunate to have her in our lives for so long. Most of all the memories remain precious and cannot be replaced. God bless her and all who came to know and love her. Sincerely, Linda Ann Lewis (daughter of Dorthy Lewis Perconti and Bud Lewis)
We’re so sorry to hear of your loss. I too remember her gold high heeled shoes from even just a few years ago when I last had the privelage to visit her. We were all very blessed to have her in our lives as long as we did. Love and Prayers to the family.
Evelyn, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I was never fortunate enough to meet your mother, you spoke so often of her that I felt that I got to know her. She was a wonderful mother, look how well her daughter turned out! May your memories of her help you through this time. Love, Regina
Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Evelyn – I was so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mother sounded like a wonderful woman and I’m sure brightened a lot of lives and you will have wonderful memories of her to cherish. Love, Pam

Dear Evelyn, Dorothy and Marian, I was so sorry to hear of the death of Your Mother. She’ll be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. We are all thinking of you – knowing that she was such a special person and how much she’ll be missed. Meanwhile I hope that the sad memories fade soon, leaving only all the happy ones that you must have of your Mother Anne. In sympathy, Ed & Susie
