I am a long time friend of Dr. Carl and Kay Claus…I grew with their family and their kids are my good friends. I want to send my condolences to the family…they are special people to me. I did not know Bertha Claus, but I am sure that she was a wonderful woman and lived a very long life. Having just lost my own mother 4 months ago I know that losing someone you love is a very difficult things to face. The Claus’s were very supportive during my mom’s funeral, and my love to them. Sympathy’s to the family. Sincerely, Ann Kimball
My Dear Family,
I am home with the flu and am terribly sorry that I cannot be with you all at this time. My eldest son Zachary will stand in my place as pallbearer.
Love to you all,
Chuck Claus
