Ken, Barb, Len & families…I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved mom. Soph was truly an incredible lady who I admired, as well as your Dad. The Klimpke family taught me what a real family was all about. They were special people in my life & will never forget them. Again, I am so sorry. - Posted by: Cheryl McCullough (Friend ) on: Dec 13, 2021

To Barb, Ken, Len and their Families - We are sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Sophia was a special lady to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. She was always ready to welcome folks to her home, and great fun to be with. Remember Grey Cup Parties? We sure do. She devoted a lot of her time to the Stonewall Legion, and again, much fun to be had. When we think of Soph, we pause, smile and renew good old memories. We hope the same happens for all of you and your families. Hugs, Harry and Bonnie - Posted by: Harry and Bonnie Elliot (Friends) on: Dec 09, 2021
