“My sincerest sympathy and love to the Schanz family. All of you watched over my grandparents Jake and Jenny Kluch when they were still living in Decatur and we appreciate all that your family has done. I will always remember the fun times at your family campground and delivering plates of my grandmother's food to various members of your family. May the love of God wrap your family and help you celebrate Mike's life. Peace to you all. Catherine Faber Smith Jake and Jenny Kluch's granddaughter”
