Shirley,
Roxanne and I send our deepest sympathies with your loss. Tom was a very memorable person. I miss seeing you at church, especially during Palm Sunday when Tom would weave the palms for many people. We are very saddened to hear this news and wish we had heard about it sooner.
God Bless!

To Mrs. B, Lisa, Scott, TJ, and the entire Bednarke family,
My deepest sympathies to you all. Mr. B was an honorable man that cherished his family and friends. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Mr. B,
I am grateful. You taught me respect, responsibility, and the value of a strong work ethic. I mean, the list of chores I had to help TJ with...who couldn't gain a strong work ethic:). Or, at the police station when you told us to never again take the convertible out for another spin until we got our driver's license...totally respected that "request". Humor aside, there are people that one credits to have made a positive impact on their life...Mr. B...I consider you one of those great people. Because, in fact, those chores, your comments, your opinions, and all other memories I have, has positively impacted me. Those three pillars of character: respect, responsibility, and work ethic, I thank you. May you rest in peace.

Dad,
You will be truly missed. Your humor, love, smile and quick wit has made me what I am today. I will NEVER forget you. WE may have had our ups and downs, but the ups were "up" there and truly outweigh the bad. I love you. Always have. Always will.
We miss you!
All my love and kisses, too,
Lisa
