To lose a parent is tough enough but to lose both parents at once is beyond words.
We always think there will be one to pick up the pieces.
I am John D Babinski, my father, Dominic and my GrFather John. GGF was Albert. Is there a connection?
We lived in ND. [email protected]
Will keep you in our prayers.

To a wonderful sister in law
Kathi
You are truly loved and missed
I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead-she is just away!
With a cheery smile, and a wave of her hand she has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair it needs must be, since she lingers there.
So think of her faring on, as dear in the love of there as the love of here. Think of her still as the same, I say; She is not dead she is just away!

I have many wonderful memories of John in my life. He will be greatly missed by myself and my family. I am thankful for the time we all had with him and grateful that he was my godfather. My heart is with you all.

John Dee Jr, I know it's been 20+ years since we use to hang out together back on 39th Avenue in Plymouth. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard the news of your mother. I remember her being a very kind and loving person.
