Dear Georgeanne, Karen & Family,
And also to the Family of staff and Children at NFCS

My heart is breaking over stumbling upon this woeful news. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I had no idea until this very moment. My memory of Mr. K is one that I will hold affectionatel forever. He held a very special place in my heart. I had so much respect and admiration for him. He always knew just the right thing to say to make me smile. We always seemed to understand each other. I particularly enjoyed his quick wit and tongue-in-cheek jokes. I pray that your family, as well as the Family at New Foundations Charter School are comforted by the fact that he is walking among the angels in heaven along with our Lord God! He will be missed.
With love, Mazz

Dear Mr. KK, you are leaving us with very heavy hearts, but such fond memories. Who will be waiting for me at the front door with that smile and that "Good Morning", sometimes with "the magic throw up dust"? Who's going to ask me at 8 am "if I need a wedgie"? (Who knew you meant a door stop?)My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Mrs. Kruszewski and Karen and family:
I cannot express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Mr. K meant a great deal to myself and my family. He always made me laugh when I needed it the most. My son Frankie will miss his Mr. K a great deal he used to help Mr. K in the mornings and he will miss being with Mr. K. He said to me Mommy Mr. K used to take such good care of me and I used to care of him by helping him.

Dear Georgeanne, Karen, Michael and family - I've had the pleasure of knowing Rich for only 6 years but I feel that he has always been a part of my life as I do all of you. He's been a great husband, father and the best Pop-Pop I have ever seen. Not many kids are as lucky as Ryan and Kiera to have such a great friend for a grandfather. He will be miss greatly by many people. All of you are in our prayers. God Bless!! Love ya - The O's
