    To The Grieme family,
    I know Chloie has been ill for such a long time. I was saddened to hear that. Take comfort in knowing she will be a guardian angel to all of you now that she is gone. She will continue to occupy your hearts for many, many years.

    She had such a great laugh and I remember that we enjoyed so many times with our families and Tyler, Heather, Mark and Vickie. When we reminisce we always seem to find something about Ernie and Chloie especially from the Les and Nellie days when they were neighbors. It was always fun to see her during holidays and special occasions.

    I am hopeful that you are all able to remember good times with her and I know you were all special to her. She was very proud of her family.

    With Sincere Condolences to you all,

    Sandi Carlton (Van Kempen)

    My deepest sympathies to Chloie’s family. I first met them all when I was growing up on Beach Street in Huron and I did babysitting for the family. Our families attended the same church and spent time together years ago. I always remember her smile and happy disposition. I now have a grandchild named “Chloe”. May all your good memories of your wife, mother and grandmother give you comfort. She is now resting in the arms of her loving Savior.
