“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER ANASTACIA She is 47 years old today!”

“Welcome Home Sergeant Klemek! Jack has been serving in the US Army in Germany for the last 18 months. He’s stateside for a 30 day training. Jack has served over six years and his heart lies with the infantry. His mom states that what’s surprised him the most about Germany is how much it looks like his home in Central Minnesota, and how many towns in central Mn are named after German cities. These include places like Albany, Avon, New Ulm and Fulda. We’re extremely proud of you, Jack! Love, Mom”

~ Brigetta Klemek

“Happy birthday to Ann Hansen in Eden Prairie - from your family, kids, and grandkids!”
