Not sure what to say?

Cara famiglia Prucha,solo chi ha conosciuto e amato Jhon e Mary può capire il vuoto che essi hanno lasciato in tutti noi, amici.Per me sono stati "my American family" e li voglio ricordare seduti nella loro libreria, a guardare le foglie che in autunno cambiano il loro colore. Avranno sempre un posto nel mio cuore e nelle mie preghiere.

It was a privilege and an inspiration to know John Prucha and the family that he and Mary created. This sad news brings back a flood of happy memories: The Last Picture Show parties, corny jokes, admonitions, living room geology lessons. Condolences and thanks to Anne and all of the Pruchas.

Dad, thanks for all the wonderful memories, lessons and love you gave us all. Please watch over us from heaven and continue praying for us all. We miss you and love you.
love,
Marina and Stephen, Ana, Chris, Elena, Joe and Sutton
