Sherri, Tom and family:
I was very sorry when mom, Josephine Novak called to tell me about Aunt Mae. Though I haven't seen her in many years, I clearly remember when she and Uncle Leo came to visit us in Point. I swear all those two knew how to do was laugh and made everyone else along with them.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Dear Sherri, Tom and your families. I was sorry to hear of Aunt Mae's passing. I have so many fond memories of your Mom and your Dad when I was growing up. I guess you could say they were both one of my favorites. Our family always looked forward to seeing all of you when you came from California. Sherri - you and I had some fun times together! May all the good memories of your Mom help you and your families through this difficult time. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love and Hugs, Annette (Koshollek) Lohr, Fort Mill SC

So sorry to hear about Aunt Mae's passing. She was a great lady and will be missed. My mom, Victoria Tylka (Zynda) has been in the hospital and very ill, so we haven't told her yet, but she and Mae have been close friends and sisters-in-law. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom, Sherri, and their families.

I'm sorry for your loss. My father was Paul Zynda, Jr. and my grandfather was Paul Zynda, Sr., both from Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I think Leo Sr. and Paul Sr. were brothers.
