Not sure what to say?

Roseanne,
I just found out about your Dad. I often think of all the great times we had as kids growing up on Cottage Street and swimming at Vogt Pool. It seems so far away now. Your parents were the best and we were all lucky to have them. Even tough I wasn't a Kachigian, I spent lots of time at your house and remember us trying to be quiet while your Dad slept on the couch and not being too good at it! I hope your great memories of your Dad help you through this new time in your life....

Danny, Danielle, Mattie & Family, very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad - Grandfather.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Mrs. Kachigian,
We will never forget how inspirational you and Mr. Kachigan were at our wedding, married for 57 years at the time. We hope for the same. We know that in time your many memories will bring you comfort.
Love, Larry, Patty, Phil & Lauren

Sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad....Sure know we are thinking about all of you. You are in our prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Kachigian family

In all my years in the PPD there was no one more memorable than Malcolm J. His sense of professionalism was exceeded only by his sense of humour. His passing will leave a deep irretrievable loss in the lives of those that live on, his memory will leave a perpetual smile on our faces. Rest in Peace Malcolm

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Kachigian family on their loss of a wonderful husband and father. He will always be with you, guiding you on the right path, just as he did in life. And golfing in Heaven must be amazing!

"You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are,
Speak to me as you always have, do not be sad
Continue to laugh at what made us laugh
Smile and think of me
Life means what it always meant
The link is not severed
Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight?
I will wait for you, I am not here,
but just on the other side of this path
You see, all is well."
St. Augustine

Our heartfelt sympathy to you...

Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family Roe. Your father accomplished so much in his life time and it was so evident he was so loved. May he rest in peace.
