Aunt Izzy and cousins:
My sincerest sympathy to you all. I know it has been a very long time since we have seen each other, but I still have many fond memories of our gatherings. Two of my sons are in the Marines--my oldest is currently a 2nd Lt and my youngest is a PFC.
The Slaske boys are all safely reunited and home at last...
Love,

January 2, 2017

My prayers go out to all of the family, sorry to hear of uncle Genes passing and miss seeing aunt Isabelle and all of you. Have wonderful memories! Love your cousin Janice Trzcinski Shiflett

To the Slaske family: Sincerest condolences from the Monchek family. Gene and our dad Frank were dartball teammates for many years at both St. Leo's and St. Bernadette's. My dad always enjoyed Gene's friendship. Cherish all your wonderful memories.

Decades ago our family went to school with the Slaskes and our parents were fond of Isabelle and Gene as part of the CFM group at St. Leo's. Many cherished memories... We send our condolences to the entire Slaske family.

Grandpa,as I was growing up I always looked forward to coming to grandma's and grandpa's house, the time we spent talking and you opening up and me seeing a whole new side of my grandfather, enjoying our talks and listening to your stories I always admired you, You will always be in my heart and noone can ever take away the memories that I will hold forever in my heart of you. When I look up into the sky and see that brightest Star I know that will be you always looking down on me. I love you with all my heart and will never ever forget you.
On my last visit I wrote you a letter and told you how much I loved you and that our last visit was something I would never forget and that memory is going to stay in my heart forever and only you know how much you meant to me.
