Dear Klett Family,
Your Mom, my Aunt, will live on in my heart and in the fond memories I have of our time spent together in Spanish Lakes.
Her eyes would light up when talking about her grandchildren, and mine when she would reminisce about her days as a career RN. How she was about to juggle a full time career with marriage, home and raising 3 amazing children. She was my idol in many ways.
My sincere condolences to the family. I know her spirit, essence lives on in her children and grandchildren.
Much love always
Vicki
