Marian Salonick Obituary

Dear Salonick Family,
I am a classmate of Curt's and just recently talked to him over the computer. I too have experienced the loss of both my parents in recent years. Your family had been in my prayers with the passing of your. If you need someone who knows what you going through please do not hesitate to get in touch with. Maybe when I visit Wilkes-Barre in the near future we can have such a discussion. Remember all the times who enjoyed being with your mom. See you soon , a concerned classmate from the class of 1971.
