Dear Skurski Family:

My name is Karen Schleppy(Johnson). I am the daughter of Bud and Betty Anne Johnson who are now deceased. Mom and your Mother, Patty were very good friends all through school and I remember meeting all you siblings years ago when we were very little. I am the eldest of 3 kids and as I recall there were twelve children I think in your family at one time. Both Mom, Dad and my sister Rita have passed away. My brother David is right around Billy's age. I pray that Billy is now at peace and is in Heaven with Our Good Lord along with your parents, Patricia and Leonard and others from your immediate family. I knew your Mom and saw her last when she came to Mom's funeral in August, 2007. Prayers for the entire Skurski family will be remembered.

Love,

Karen
