Address: 3227 Dixie Hwy ERLANGER, KY 41018Rest In Peace, Aunt Anne.
To Pam, Lisa, Roger & JD, and all of the your families,
JD described your mom as having a stubborn nature. I’v spoken with Aunt Anne only a handful of times over the years, and yup, you got that right. Although stubborn and tough, I knew that under that facade was a warm and big heart. I regret not getting to know her better.
On behalf of myself, my wife Lynn, Ally and Steve, and my folks (dad’s computer is pooched), please accept our deepest condolences and fair winds on her next journey.
Take care,
Mike klarenbeek
Johanna’s family
When we moved into #6 in Foxmoor, Wayne and Johanna were one of the very first to welcome us. We have fond memories of our “Front Porch” chats….they would be in their lawn chairs with the front door open…I always wondered if any of those little critters slipped past them and were hiding inside. Wayne was so fun to talk with; what a wit he had. Johanna never tired of speaking of her pride for her children. God bless your entire family as you say your final goodbyes.

Love, Mike, Karen, Meagan & Amanda
