Herman Klunder Thursday, June 2, 2011
My heartfelt condolences to Pat and her wonderful, loving family. Herms' humor, teasing, kindness, friendship and love will be so deeply missed by those of us who loved him so dearly. Good bye dear friend you blessed our lives so much and for this we thank
God. This Memorial Day belongs to you. Thank you.

I am sorry for your loss. God has loving concern for bereaved ones. Psalm 146:9 states '...the fatherless boy and widow he relieves'. He promises that one day he will 'swallow up death forever'. (Isaiah 25:8,9). According to scriptures such as John 5:28,29,
Acts 24:15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14, there will be a resurrection. We will have the opportunity to see our loved ones again. It is my sincere hope that these scriptures bring you comfort and hope during this difficult time.

I am so saddened by the news about Mr. Klunder. I just read about it this morning in the paper, so please let me apologize for not having time to visit in person during your family's time for comforting. My heart goes out to your entire family, especially
Ron and Mike of whom I was closest to as we grew up together. I remember Mr.and Mrs. Klunder at all of our little league baseball games sitting in their folder chairs cheering us on. It certainly seems just like yesterday. If I was or am ever asked to describe
Mr. Klunder, it will be easy for me; Quite simply, he was just a genuinely nice man. May God bless him and your family during your time of need, and I promise you will all be in my daily prayers.
