IN LOVING MEMORY

12/13/1957 – 6/11/2014 In Loving Memory of my Daughter Renee S. Hrubes Devine The depths of sorrow we cannot tell, Of the loss of one we loved so well, And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep, Her memory we shall always keep.

11/23/1937 – 4/1/2014 In Loving Memory of my Wife Joan E. Hrubes One year has passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away. God took her home. It was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still.

3/1/1960 – 6/14/1979 In Loving Memory of my Son Terry J. Hrubes The years are quickly passing, Though we still cannot forget, For in the hearts that love him, His memory lingers yet.

Your Loving Husband & Father, Clarence Hrubes & Family

THANK YOU

The family of Vernice Klesath would like to thank those in the Mason City Community for their outpouring of love and support on the loss of our mother this past December. Each hug, beautiful card, words of comfort or lovely shared memory was a cherished gift for our family and sincerely appreciated. Your generosity to our Mother’s memorial was overwhelming and it gave us great joy to be able to make several contributions to organizations that were very important to our Mom. Our family was recently able to make a number of equipment donations to the Mason City Athletic Department. Our Mother loved greeting everyone from her ticket booth at the various athletic events and we are thrilled that those that follow in her footsteps can

enjoy comfortable new chairs, new uniforms, air conditioning at the ball field as well as new equipment to complete their jobs. Go Mohawks! Our Mother had a strong passion for children and wanted them to have the opportunity to enjoy life experiences no matter of their circumstance. Monetary contributions were made to Best Buddies and the Special Olympics with the Mason City School District as well as to Camp Tanglefoot with the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. All of these organizations ensure each child gets the joy of friendship and inclusion. A monetary donation was also made to the Good Shepherd’s Telephone Reassurance program in gratitude of their service and care for our Mother in the last year. We made every attempt to send a personal thank you to everyone for their kindness, but we encountered challenges with locating addresses (or correct ones) and know we may have inadvertently missed someone as we coordinated responses. Please know your kindness and generosity was sincerely appreciated and our family has the deepest gratitude for your love and friendship of our Mother. She felt blessed and so do we! Thank you! The Vernice Klesath Family

Thank You

The family of Richard “Pidge” Dorenkamp would like to express our thanks for all of the kind words, memorials, food and cards during the time of our loss. We would like to say a special thank you to Pastor Crystal for her comforting words and the staff of Hospice of North Iowa. Also a special thank you to Nikki Cook, Shirley Nelson, Marge Swensen, Sherry Hansen and Dawn Hoy for serving the refreshments. Janice Dorenkamp and families

The family of Ron Van Horn would like to thank family and friends who remembered us with their prayers, cards, flowers, food and memorials. We would like to thank the Mason City firefighters for giving Ron his last ride on the fire truck and all their help. Thank you to Major Erickson Funeral Home and Pastor Dave Byrd. Also the ladies of Our Saviour’s Church for serving the lunch. Thank you to the IOOF Home and Hospice of North Iowa. Ron was a wonderful husband, dad and grandfather. He will truly be missed, but he will be in our hearts forever.
