RICHARD STANKUS Jr.

Dear Stankus Family, Hi, its Laura, Richie, Choochy, Bonsey, and Chris's babysitter . So sorry to hear about Richie. Just wanted you to know I'm praying for you all. I'm so glad that Richie and I were able to be in touch a few years ago, after so many years. Hope as time heals your hearts that the great memories remain a joy to you all. God Bless, Love, Laura

Dad, I miss you so much. I love you so much. I can't wait to see you again in Heaven.

I have not seen my cousin in many years, yet I was truly sad to hear of his death. I am flooded with many happy childhood memories. He was always the cool cousin. I loved our family vacations to Chicago and spending time with all my cousins. My most treasured memory is the water fight we all had in the water fountain at the Zoo. I wish we had stayed closer over the years, time is so very short. My thoughts and prayers are with my Uncle and his family. I love you cousin Richie.

My brother is a very special part of me, and my life. When he pasted away, a part of me died also. he taught me how to care, love, and just be myself. I know it didnt seem like I was always nice to him but brothers do have disagreements. I did love him very much. I wish we have had talked more often, but the distance seperated us. We both had families of our own to take care of. If anything it showed me that family should be the most important thing in our lives. I hope the tragedy will bring...

I love my brother. He was always there for me and my children. I don't know what I'll do without him. Love June, Leah, Matthew, David, Sara, and Hannah.

My nephew, oh how he will be missed. Although I haven't seen him in many years, I still remember rocking him when he was a baby. Missing his funeral too is hard; the miles have separated us as a family and the years have faded our thoughts for each other, but Richard has brought all these treasures to its proper place again. Family is so very important, my prayers will be increased daily for you all.
