Dear Shirley, Sue and Families: My Brother Tom just called me and told me about Nick passing. My Deepest Sympathies. Nick was like a Dad to me, and you Shirley, like a Mom, as we were growing up. Times like this makes me more unhappy we are so far away that I can't say these words in person. Know my heart is very heavy, as if losing my Dad, and hold on to memories to give strength to go on. Hugs to you all. Love, Bonnie (Winnicki) and Gerry Schoesser

Dear Shirley,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family as you deal with the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. I have fond memories of Nick for the many hours he freely gave at Pius XI High School. Nick also had a great smile! It is our faith that summons us to believe that Nick's "life is simply changed not ended." I hope that give you the strength the days ahead. I hold you in prayer.

Sincerely,
Fr. Marv Knighton
