Dear Aunt Marian,
What wonderful memories I have of the Yusko family and especially of Uncle John, Aunt Margaret, Aunt Helen and Aunt Betty - our trips to Elmira to visit all were always eagerly anticipated. I am happy that I was able to bring my Pop up to visit for the last time, years ago.
My prayers are with you! Betty Ann

Aunt Marian and Family:
I was very sorry to hear about Uncle John's passing. I have several good memories of him at Gramma's house. Even as big as he seemed to me when I was little, he was always fun and loving. My prayers are with you.

So sorry to read about your dad's passing. I remember the countless hours he put in as a volunteer when I was in scouts, and I know my dad always enjoyed playing golf w/ your dad. My sympathy to all.
