Thank you Kochevar family for adopting us no matter how big our family got over the years. And for always welcoming us like family, your mom was the best. We will miss the fun times listening to you all teasing each other and her threatening to still kick your butt. She was the coolest and really a down to earth lady. She had had a heart of gold. We love you all so much! God bless and know prayers are with you.
