Paul, Paula, Mark, AJ, and Matt,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I was saddened to hear about your mom. Your mom was a great lady. She always made me feel welcome and always welcomed me into her home anytime I was home on vacation or on leave when I was in the Navy. I especially love being invited into the "Penn State room" to have an ice cold beer and some pretzels. I´m sorry I could not make it back for her viewing and funeral but please know that she and all of you are in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers. Love, Reine Parsons, Jacksonville, Florida

My dear sister, Clare, I have so much respect for the love and devotion you have shown to your family. The attentiveness of your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren demonstrate that. I will treasure the memories of our get-togethers in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. I will miss our weekly phone calls where we laughed and cried together, but always ended with a laugh! Until we meet again on the other side, Fran.

The kopicki family buried my dad in 1963 and my mom in 1996. And many of our family. Mrs. Kopicki was a customer. She was a nice lady. When my Mom passed we has a hugh snowfall. Paul had to hold my Mom for sometime. One day I got a call from Paul to tell me he buried my Mom. Took my wife and I to the grave. The snow was over the vehicle. But we got there.
Thank you Kopicki's and sorry for your loss.
