Karol,
I am so very sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. Please know that we have been praying for your family. May God surround you with sweet memories of the time you had with him.
Love Lane & Cindy
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Klutts’ passing. He was my grandmother’s insurance man and I can remember him coming to Grandma’s house with his little book that he took payments for her. He later was my insurance agent. He was always kind, and helpful. Rest in peace Mr. Klutts. You were a very special person.
A special man with a special family. He is with the Lord but will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all of you at this time. God bless him as he lives in eternity with our Lord And savior.
Love you Ken and Karol and families
May he Rest in Peace🙏🏻
Great man and great friend. We had some fun times at First A/G in Port Arthur. Loved playing golf and pitching horseshoes together. Also my insurance agent for many years.
Leon was a cherished member of Cornerstone Church whose kindness, smile, and warmth touched everyone he met. He dedicated his life to his family, friends, and church and will be greatly missed. His generosity of spirit and unwavering love of Jesus were evident in all aspects of his life.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, friendship, compassion, and unforgettable memories.
We love you!
Nathan and Angie Kear
