Jim, Mary and the entire Klunk family. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother, Wife, Grandmother and Aunt. Even though I didn't know Helen, I felt like I did though the numerous conversations that Jim and I have had over the year. She was truly a beautiful person in so many ways. I wish I would have had the privilege of meeting her. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this very difficult time. God bless and take care...

Dear Klunk family, I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom, Wife and Grandma. There are so many fond memories that come to my mind including her beautiful and ever present smile, her inviting personality that always included you with her interests, and the activities your family and my family participated in including the picnics, camp outs and ball games with her boys and much more. Take Care!
