Don't think of them as gone away their journeys just begun, life holds so many facets and earth is only one. Just think of them as resting from sorrows & the tear in a place of warmth & comfort where there are no days and years. Think of them as living in the hearts of those they touched for nothing loved is ever lost & they were loved so much. We are sorry for your loss.

Dear Sandy, Michael, Ann Marie & Roslyn,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families in the lost of your beloved husband and father. May you find peace in knowing that Mike lived a very fulfilling life full of softball games and his exchange club. I enjoyed his many talks about the old softball team; it brought back memories of Saucon Park and Ski Brothers! Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
