My thoughts and prayers go to Mrs. Kladder's family. She has a sweet soul that will forever remain in our hearts. Andrea Hoekzema

My Grandma was the most wonderful Grandma anyone could ever want. She loved nothing in life more than her family and treasured her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. She never once missed a birthday or special occasion with a card in the mail even if she was going to see you. I have so many great memories of spending time with her on Cleveland Avenue and she went far beyond her role of 'great-grandma' with watching my son while I worked 3 days a week from the time he was born. Even when he was old enough not to need someone there, she would still come over so that he wouldn't have to be alone. My memories are too many to count and I will keep them with me always. RIP, Grandma, and prayers for all my other family and her friends who will miss her as much as I will. Laura Besser
