When I married into the Stolarz family, Uncle John and Auntie Anne were the first one to welcome me into this family. I will never forget Uncle John's jokes and Auntie Anne's laughter. Her favorite song was Amazing Grace. The memories I have captured will never be forgotten. It was truly a blessing and honor to call them my Aunt and Uncle.

May God comfort you and give each of you His peace. Our Lord knows each of our limitations, all of our needs, and how much each of us, in all of the hardships and heartbreaks of this life, need Him! In fact, the Bible tells us that he saves our every teardrop! God understood every emotion involved in this wonderful couples' life. We trust that they are both now with Jesus Christ. And so we pray now for you, their family, that hope.
