To the Helen Jurek Family............
I would have liked to offer my condolences in person.
My mom has also been ill and I wasn't able to leave her. I lost my mom last week..so I realize your loss and emptyness. Take refuge and turn to God, your relatives and friends.
As kids we were neighbors on Huaco Lane and school mates at Reicher HS.
Sincerely,
Nancy Kluck Coker
