Alexander and Jeannette Toczko

Just thought about Uncle Al yesterday while watching golf from Torey Pines. No doubt he had beautiful days sketching there.

Dear Lynn and family,
I just read this one year later. Your parents were the best! I loved both of them. Jay was there for me on many an occasion, one being on my wedding day. She made sure I looked gorgeous while Al took the most fabulous pictures of my special day. I look at the beautiful picture Al painted everyday and will keep it forever. I wish I could have seen them before they passed but it wasn't possible. All I can say is they were the nicest and most generous folks on earth...

Hi,
When I saw this in our Belgian newspapers, I wrote a poem about it. I tried to translate it into English, hope you like it. I'm very sorry for your loss, but the way they were able to stay together, is very beautiful. I wish you all the best.

Here's the poem:

For the last time
he lied next to her
like a child in the crib
of her stained arms.

Her final sigh fell
between the fragility
of his hair and the vanishing
of his white breath.

Even...

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Aunt Jeannette and Uncle Al. I have great memories of visiting your parents house on Orange St in Stamford. Walking in the woods or sledding and building snowmen with my older cousins was always such great fun, not to mention getting all of those hand me down clothes and being invited to swim in the pool at Shorehaven. I think my mother and yours were particularly close being the next...

My mother just died too. i am a former san diegan and i truly felt with your story. God bless them and God bless you too. v.

Wow! Total commitment for all those years. They will live together for eternity.

Your parent's were friends of my parents at the Immaculate Conception Church in Old Town. I met them several times. They were lovely people. My condolences to all of you.

The message from Rosemary Talboys and the Bosak family brought back such a flood of memories of "Uncle Frank" and "Aunt Dot" in Stamford! I probably remember them best of all, since I'm the oldest, and I believe I remember Uncle Frank was my godfather. I have no doubt that our parents are all dancing the polka in heaven and laughing together as they always did. Thank you for your love and thoughts. It means a great deal to us! ****Donna Toczko Tang

I didn't know your parents but I just read about their love story in the NY Daily News online edition. May they both rest in peace and may the angels lead this loving couple to paradise.
