Not sure what to say?

My late Grandma Julia Downing, was married to my Grandfather Frank Downing, who passed away around 1960,our whole family was from Jeanette, Manor or Greensburg, Is your family also related to us somehow, my mom was Marilyn Haubrich married to my dad Nick Haubrich and my cousin was Robert Painter who was married to Ruth, sorry about the loss of your loved one.

I have fond memories of your sweet dad. May he and your mom rest in heavenly peace and eternal love together with our Lord. With our deepest sympathy to your family.

He proudly, with strength and humility, as an Army Corporal, served his country during the years of the Korean Conflict. It is said: "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself" (quote by Joseph Campbell). With recognition of his military service, and his dedication and love of family, with honor, we thank our father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, John Daniel Downing. Love, Sheila and Family

My sincere condolences to the Downing family.
