Not sure what to say?

Dear Joey and Jeffrey Volavka, I am sorry I was not there for your father's funeral. I've been thinking of you all much lately. Your mother-Sandra your grandfather -my Uncle Ben, my grandmother and your greatgrand mother Evlute Estraukas. I wish I would have gotten to now your dad better. I remember your father as being a beautiful hearted man.

Dear Sandy,Joey, and Jeff
I have not seen any of you in a long time and I just heard from my dad about Joe.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Sandy, Joe, Jeff, This poem comforted me when I lost Pat,

God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Mary Phillips

Dear Sandy,Joey, and Jeff,
Although I have not seen you in many years, I have very fond memories of Joe. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you

Dear Sandra, Joey, Jeff and the rest of the Volavka family,

We would like to express our deepest sympathy at this very hard time. I always looked up to Joe growing up next door. He was always as nice as could be. He was a great person and neighbor. He will be truly missed but never forgotten.

To all the Volavkas,
Gene and I are so very sorry for your loss. We enjoyed Joe's company so much...the bar-b-ques in Joe and Chrissy's backyard, with your entire family, are some of our fondest memories. He was such a good guy - always had a nice word for everyone. Be comforted by the blessing of knowing that he is at peace and keeping watch over all of you.
All our thoughts, prayers & love,
Suzanne, Gene,
Erich and Kristin Sternkopf
