There are many heavy hearts in Auburn, NY, especially when we remember that just about a year ago the Kachurak sisters were in town for the SSPPS grade school reunion. May God grant strength to the entire family during this time of unimaginable anguish and sorrow. In the Ukrainian tradition, we pray "Vichnaya Pamyat."

Dear Martin & McCoy Family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to each of you. I am a childhood friend of Mitchie's from Auburn, NY. We had many fun times growing up, and Mitchie was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Tears fill my eyes as I remember her. I just spoke with her two weeks ago, and we reminisced about the good old days. I will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
