Yackovich ~ DiVincenzo, and Novak Families:

I am very saddened by your loss. During the last 11 years that Dana and I have been friends, I have grown to appreciate how close your family is. I know that this loss is very saddening to all of you, and please know that each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you will find peace in the fact that he is no longer suffering, and is home with the Lord. May God give you strength during this time, and I hope that in the months and years to come that your memories of him warm your heart.
