To My Childhood Friends Tom & Jim:

Sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Just the thought of her sweet smilimg face when we were children pulls deeply on my heart. Bless your family and I send my condolences to all.

Dear Tom and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. One of my fondest memories is from around 86-87 when Joan and I worked for a developer in East Lansing. In addition to her children, Joan loved dogs, as did I. I would bring Bailey over to meet Ernie and Bailey always went home with a tummy full of treats, (as did I). Joan presented me with a artist's drawing of Bailey, done by Tricia Reust. My hunch is that Tricia did this out of love for Joan and not for profit. I...

Dear Puppa and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Grammy's passing. You all have touched our family so deeply that we will miss her and feel your loss for many years to come. Grammy, directly and through Susan and her family, have taught us so much about how to love each other, how to show kindness, patience and forgiveness.

Dear Kurkowski Family, the news of Joan's death is very saddening, she was a special lady and we know how much she meant to all of you. Praying for God's peace and comfort for all of you during this difficult time.

Dear Tom & Family:

So very sorry to hear of your loss. May God grant you peace through the memories that have of Joan/Mom/Grandma and the love that he (God) has for all of us. Terry Wilks (MDOS)

For Tom and his family, I send my sincere condolences. It's surely a difficult time for all of you. I have many fond memories of sharing thoughtful dinners in the Kurkowski household, hosted by Joan and Tom, when staying in the Lansing area when Tom was my immediate supervisor.
