Dear Mrs. Klu, Julie, Jill, Brian and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't remember a time, where Mr. Klu didn't have a big smile and fun personality. He and Mrs. Klu have the most infectious smiles and always made me feel welcomed. I have many warm memories of him and I'm grateful to have known him. Love to all of you, may you find comfort in the joyous memories you have with him.

Uncle Don, He had a contagious smile that could not only brighten the room, but would brighten your heart in an instant! My memories of Uncle Don always include the warmest of greetings, the most generous welcoming smile and laughter, laughter, laughter! He has a special place in my heart.
