Dear Anna, Mary, Helen, Liz, Barb and Linda

I am deeply saddened today to hear of your loss.

Milenko Popovich, your husband and father was a kind, strong, loving, accomplished and gentle man whom I respected greatly.

Having had the privilege of sharing moments in time with your family, I knew how much he was cherished, and how he will be missed by each of you.

Vecnaja pamjat Mr. Popovich.

All my love to you, your children, and those closest to you,
Dusan Milunovich

Dear Liz,

I once heard that people who influence others the most are those who live their lives like the stars in the sky - simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mold and shape us. You radiate with that genuineness, undoubtedly impressed by such lives. I am deeply sorry for the loss of one of those "stars" in your life. May you and your family find the peace to continue to shine upon others.
