To The Cebulko Family:
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Bob and I graduated in the same class at Central Catholic. Though we didn't really know each other, I did speak to him a few times when he was with Diane.
When I did see Bob at school, he had that same smile as in this photo. He always seemed to be a happy person. That memory must be a good one for all of you and I hope it sustains you in your time of grief.
Diane and I were in classes together over those four years and, at this sad time of losing your father and remembering him, to their chilidren, I would like to say, also, your mother was a kind, funny, intelligent person. She and your dad always seemed like a great match.
After talking with her at our class reunion in 1981, I wasn't surprised when I found her to be that same lovely young woman she had been 15 years earlier in high school. Actually, whenever I remember that reunion, it is my conversation with her that is the highlight of that night. Years later, I was saddened to learn of her death.
I offer all of Bob's family my prayers and condolences.
Sincerely, Susan Spear/CCHS Class of 1966
