  1. Char, Denise and the entire Schlung Family —
    Words cannot express the sadness we feel right now for you and your family. We know how much your Dad was loved and what a wonderful Husband, Father and Grandfather he was. I know personally, I will miss his friendly voice on the other end of the phone when he called for you here at KGA. He is at peace now with your Mom and I know he will always be looking down on you. Eternal be his memory. Sending our thoughts and prayers to you now and in the days to come.
    Denise & David Gaulin & Family
