To My Family,
Even with with this loss in our family, another has joined us. Oliver Lamont Venable V was born Thursday Aug. 28th. He will learn about you through the times that you and I had together. From hanging out on the porch with Abad and Jimmy Heck to eating candy in the parlor. They say with the loss of one's life, another life begins. I think this proof of that!
I won't be able to see you for that last time, but I know we will see each other when time calls for it. I didn't learn Polish, except for little things in what you told me. So, "Iste duma spach." Roughly, "Time to go bed."

Dear Judy and Family,My husband and I send our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Dad. You, Rose and your Mom played Bingo together many times when I lived in Lackawanna. We since have retired to Colorado and don't miss the cold or humidity. God Bless and feel free to e-mail me since we lost touch.

What can I say. The neighborhood is no longer the place where we grew up. Vince or should I say the Mayor of Victory Aveune will be greatly missed. I can not drive down the street without seeing him on the porch, always calling out a friendly greeting. Especially if the Urbanczyks weren't in town. We shared so many memories, your family and ours. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Although I know he is in a better place, His presence will always remain a vivid fixture in my mind. Love to all.
