We want to extend our heart felt sympathy to the family and friends of Aunt Clara. May God give all of you strength during this trying time. The passing of Uncle Frank and Aunt Clara has saddened our hearts, but we will remember them as the kind thoughtful people they were. We will never forget back in the mid-seventies when Cynthia and I were visiting Milwaukee and happen to spot Uncle Frank and Aunt Clara in a car together. Till then I don't think any of the Schleichers knew they dating! Anyway, the rest is history. God's peace to you all, Greg & Cynthia Schleicher

Your mother was a delight. Rich and I enjoyed our visits with her during the summer parties. My sympathies for your loss.
