Dear Klennert family......My class and I sent a card to your family to the funeral home so we hope you received it. Thanks for sharing your mom with us. She was a kind and loving lady who loved the Sioux! She enjoyed participating in our Friends Forever pen pal program, and we so enjoyed her! Mrs. Wages and 4th graders from Kelly Elem. School, 3000 Cherry St., Grand Forks, ND 58201. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

I was a pen-pal to Mary this past year at school. I had fun meeting Mary and visiting with her at Valley Eldercare. I am sad that she is no longer with us. I will miss her dearly. She was a great pal! I'm sorry for the loss of your family. I wish her peace and comfort in Heaven. I hope you will be ok from your loss and wish God's comfort for your family. Colton Saxon-Peterka

To MaryBeth's family - I am sorry to hear that your mom passed away. My mom, Liz and Marybeth were good friends. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
