I had the pleasure of getting to know Mrs. Kleiber at Bishop Gadsden. She was such a sweet and tender person; a "true southern lady". She was very soft spoken and had a wonderful smile. This world is a better place because she passed through. My prayers go out to the family. She spoke of her family often, always smiling as she talked of grandchildren. Ms Peg, I am sure the angels in heaven greeted you with open arms; rest in peace. With much love, Marlene (former Cloister receptionist)
