To All of the Gaschk Family,
Sorry to read of the passing of your mom. The world has lost a wonderful person, but heaven has gained one great soul. May all of your wonderful memories help you through this most difficult time. Gone from your sight, but not from your hearts.
Sorry that I was not able to attend the services today. I last visited with her when she was living a Mill Ridge Village.
