Hello Roseann, I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember me but I'm your mother's cousin on her fathers side, your grandpa Joe's brother Walters daughter. I remember meeting you several times when we were young. I happen to run across this obituary online. It looks like you've been blessed with a beautiful family. I am so sorry that you have lost your husband. I did see that your mother passed several years ago. I've totally lost contact with all my fathers family so I wasn't aware of her passing. Is your father Jack still living? My sister, brother and I took a trip to Michigan in 2010 and visited with your parents on the farm. That was the last contact I had with any of the Wilkos's. may God bless you and your family.Sandra Wiklanski [email protected]

Kathy, Barb, John, Roseann - my deepest condolences - this one hurts more than I could have ever imagined. My fondest memories of all are those early years we all grew up together and have long believed that much of who we are today came from those experiences. Love you guys very much!

To all of Rory's extended family (children & grandchildren) who don't really know me (the long distance cousin) please know that Rory was as much a brother to us Serani boys as he was a cousin. We are going to miss your dad/granddad very very much.

My prayers are with you these next several days to get through this difficult time.
