    The Foster-Conroy-Claridy family has suffered a meaningful loss. Luanne's love remains for us all to remember. We will each find comfort in our own ways. For me it's the deep happiness and contentment I observed in her talking about family, sitting on her front porch enjoying the flowers, birds, bees, insects , and home baked cookie.s The smile of that contentment brings me comfort. In your loss and grief, my love and thoughts are with you. Dorothy Conroy

    Sending sympathy, love and prayers to all of you for God's comfort, strength and Peace. Luanne and Ken were the "Best Team" Kleins ever hired. Luanne had the most cheerful calming Presence and patience with the customer. She was always the one to greet and help with floral selections for all occasions. And, Ken was the best Floral Designer in Pittsburgh. Luanne had the rare gift of a warm genuine smile, a gentle nature and lifted one's Spirit. We often shared Faith. She lives on in all of you. She was such a positive person she would want all of you to march on and Smile as your journeys continue...it was a blessing to know her for so many years. Keeping you uplifted in prayers, Kathy and Family (Old Carrick customer of Kleins and Friend)
