We are so sorry for the loss of your mother, grandma, sister and friend. We have fond memories of your Mom  and family during our younger years. We now know the talent of dancing came from your Mom! She will be missed but memories of her will linger in your hearts as long as you live. Family time meant everything to her. You were fortunate to have her in your lives for 94 years. With love, Sue and Jim Weaver

I have so many great momories of your family growing up next to the movie theater.  Every day was an adventure involving the Klopps and the Encks.  Our mothers were our protectors.  No one who knew her will ever forget her.  I want to share my sympathy with you my wonderful childhood friends.  Beryl Rihn
