Dear Nick, Helena, Debbie, Nick Jr., Mark and Family,
Am so sad and very sorry to just hear of Mrs. Kleists passing,
She was such a wonderful example of what it really means to be a faithful servant of God.
Many hours of my youth spent at the Kleist home. Rose and Nick always so inviting, welcoming, caring and inspiring. I recall having great food and conversations at the kitchen table. Many times of laughter, and always leaving the Kleist home feeling so welcomed.
Her down to earth, faith in action inspired me. She was a gentle, humble, caring and classy lady. She taught me about the Catholic faith. She had a beautiful way of sharing her compassionate wisdom and patient understanding.
I was inspired too at how she cared for her ailing parents. She always gave her all for her family. Somehow she still found the time to work with the church and St. Jude organization.
Will really miss her and many fond memories of Rose and her selfless example will live on.
Thoughts and Prayers are with all the family,
Sincerely,
Dave Haller
