Dear friends and colleagues, on behalf of myself and the Klaybor family, thank you for all of your support during this difficult time. Losing our dear mother, Mary Jane Klaybor, has left us heartbroken. We have been comforted by all of your prayers, love, kind words, cards, and flowers and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. During her visitation and services, my father commented: “I must have met 300 people from Notre Dame”. Well not 300, but the presence of the Notre Dame Family was overwhelming and truly appreciated. Saying thank you is just not enough, but please know everything meant a lot to us.
