I remember your Mother Steve, quite well. I am sure that she lived a fulfilling life and loving life. I know you'll miss her as I have a loneliness for both my parents, as our children will feel for us.

To all of you... May you have comfort in knowing she is back together with your Dad for eternity. My heart breaks for your loss and I will always remember her for the fantastic grandmother she was to all the kids and how extraordinarily lucky she was at playing bingo and scratch off tickets. She was incredible!! We will all keep her in our hearts forever.

Rich & I want to express our deepest sympathies to the entire Baratko family for the loss of their mother. Many, many fond memories we have of the hundreds of meals eaten in Baratko's Lounge in Lakewood over the years. I'm sure she was welcomed into Heaven by many old restaurant patrons as well as her beloved husband Steve. May your fond memories soon replace the sadness of this occasion.
