A beautiful woman and a Great Aunt. Loved going to her and Uncle Chet’s home, I was so surprised that the two of them came to my wedding in Dallas Texas 28 years ago. I know you were greeted by many loved ones at the time of your passing.
The entire Klark family, we wish to extend out deepest sympathy to your family. It was always a real pleasure to deal with Chet and Mary at the Overhead door Co. She was a very fine lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry for your loss Jim and cindy
Ted, Jim, Louise, Susan, Chris and families ~
