    My condolences go out to all of Miss Klara's family and friends. She would not have remembered me and I am amazed my clarity of mind brought back memories as clear as a bell, to a simpler place and time. To the niece that treasures almost 50 years, I remember Miss Klara barely over 50 years, exactly, when I was working for USS Agri-Chemicals in Navassa, she was preparing our fresh sandwiches for lunch, complete with ole timey hoop cheese wrapped in white freezer packaging, in the country store just a hop and a skip away, across the railroad tracks. I remember clearly, her accent, her efficiency, her beauty. It was my second job, just out of school and I can still hear the sounds and aromas in that down home country relic. Again, my sympathy to all and my thanks for allowing me to bring a memory no one else possibly will ever recall, but part of her long and rewarding life and a glimpse I wanted to share.

    Nikki, we send our deepest condolences to you and your family during the passing of your grandmother. Relationships with grandmothers are an important part of our lives, and although the pain will lessen over time, their absence will always be felt. We are here for you, to listen to you, to lend a shoulder, or simply just to be with you. We love you and pray for God's continued peace and strength for you and your family.
