Tara Kleca wrote a sympathy message

“I’m so sorry for the passing of your mother. Living until 102, I hope she got the most out of life and had a peaceful passing. I also am forever in her debt for the life she gave to Scott because Scott saved my life about 45 years ago when he passed by a “dog fight” and went to break it up. Upon getting there he found a child, that child was me. I have been trying to find you for years and thank you. I am sorry it has to be from a sad event, but I am eternally grateful. Tara Kleca”
