To all of the Falatko's - We are so sorry for the loss of your father/grandfather/father-in-law. We were happy that Mr. Falatko was able to attend Kristy's and Dom's wedding last Saturday. It looked like he thoroughly enjoyed himself. We are thinking of and praying for the entire Falatko family. All of our love - Mike, Michelle, Danielle, Michael, Matthew and Andrew Fegan
