So sorry to read this in the paper. You know I would have been at the service if I had known. I only knew your family for a short time, but will always remember Storky. Especially all the good times and busy times we had at the restaurant. Hope you are all doing fine otherwise and wish you all the strength that God gives to us if we let him in our hearts during our saddess hours of need. Talk to you soon. Fondly with love, Phyllis Braun
