Dear Daria and Orest,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear Mother. Mrs. Stelmach was a very nice and kind lady and I remember fondly the times I had fun visiting and playing at your home and shopping with my late parents in the store. I will keep you in my prayers at this sad and difficult time. Please drop me a line and let me know how you are doing.

Daria and Orest -- I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother . The lost of a mother leaves a hole in one's heart. I am so sorry I live so far away that I can not attend her funeral. It is sad that the Zankowsky family core has all passed way.
My heart and prayers are with you.
