The family would like to thank Dr. Kenneth Kubsch, Sherry Kasee, and the staffs of Interim Healthcare and Unity Hospice for all of the care and concern that was given to Cletus. He dreamt, he planned, he struggled, So that we would have the best, His sacrifices have been silenced. For his soul is finally at rest.
