Carlene and I were neighbors during high school. 45 years later we crossed paths again in Tucson, Arizona where I introduced her to my wife Joanne and we met Don. We maintained our friendship there until Carlene and Don moved back to Bethlehem. Joanne and Carlene were Words With Friends buddies and Joanne misses those games. We will fondly remember Carlene and Don. Jim & Joanne Yarsevich

I met Mrs. Sayenga through my friend (her daughter), Bryn. Slumber parties and sleepovers at the Sayenga’s we’re always a great time! I’ll never forget Mrs. Sayenga, Mr. Sayenga and Bryn. I am lucky to have known them and glad I was able to reconnect with them through their daughter-in-law, Michelle. Matthew, you were a great son and brother. Know that you have your tribe here whenever you’re feeling down. Love to all! - Kermit.
