Not sure what to say?

Dear Lisa and Family.... I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of your Dad - always a gracious host to his daughter's teenage friends frolicking in his pool. Your Dad's life was one to celebrate and while he may not be here in body he is here in heart and soul. I am sorry I was unable to make the memorial service, however, I hope you and your family find comfort in knowing others are thinking about you and sending good thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL. I AM SO SORRY I WAS UNABLE TO BE THERE. NO MATTER HOW OLD WE ARE, LOSING A HUSBAND AND FATHER AND PAPA IS ONE OF THE DEEPEST SORROWS A HEART CAN KNOW. BUT HIS GOODNESS, HIS CARING AND HIS WIDSOM LIVE ON-LIKE A LEGACY OF LOVE THAT WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. AND JUST AS HE COMFORTED YOU, MAY THE MEMORY OF HIS LOVE SURROUND YOU NOW AND BRING YOU PEACE. I FEEL VERY HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM AND I WILL MISS HIM. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM!

Deepest condolences from family Kovacevic. Our thougths and prayers are with you. Esad was a Good Friend, Great Man and long time family friend from old country.

To the Cavka Family,
My sincerest condolences to you all. I was very good friends with Lisa when we were in junior high/high school. But lost touch over the years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this trying time.

My condolences to the Cavka family. There was absolutely no finer man than Ed. Dignified and respectful, and one of the most generous people ever. If everyone in this world could be half as great a man as Ed, we'd all be better off. I'm so lucky I got to be a friend of his. I'll miss him, but I'll never forget him.

Mom, Lis, Jacub and Mirsa - I have such wonderful memories of Dad Cavka! Growing up four doors down and spending countless hours at your house I knew that everytime I showed up I was guaranteed to hear "What??? You here again??" said with the smallest of smiles on his face. He loved to tease but always in a kind way, the way that made you feel special and loved. He was an amazing man and my life has been blessed and enriched by knowing him. He will be missed and the cherished memories of...
