Mrs. Bujalka, Mike and Family - Was so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Bujalka.

May 16, 2011

Dear Laurie and family-Bob and I are so sorry. We just found out today-what a shock. Take comfort knowing his earthly suffering is over, and he's now in God's loving arms. Yet he'll stay forever alive in your hearts and memories. And you'll find some comfort when you see him through the coming years in the children and grandchildren. He likely enjoyed a big welcome at the Pearly Gates and is happy in heaven among all the friends and family who passed before him, and who are waiting for the rest of us to join them when our time comes to know eternal peace and happiness. God bless and keep you and your whole family.
