To the Brezovic Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I know your hearts are filled with much sadness at this time of the passing of your husband, father, and grandfather. Be assured he is now happily in the presence of the lord and without pain. Let this fill the emptiness you now have in your hearts with the joy of knowing he is now with the lord and had a safe journey home.

Dear Mrs Brezovic,

I remember how my Mom was always appreciative of you and your family. Even though distance and other events separated me from Conemaugh, I have often visited and thought of you and yours as I went to the cemetery of the Assumption Church since I parked across from where I thought you used to live.

I send my prayers and thoughts to you at the passing of your husband.

Cherish the memories and the joys you two shared with the children and grandchildren.

God give you all peace in the joy of having him in your lives for so long!

To the Brezovic family:
You have my deepest sympathy. I will always remember "Pap" at Christmas time when Barb and I would put up the tree and decorate it. He would love every minute of it and I would enjoy it as much as he did.

Dear Louise,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I know how hard it is to lose the one you love. My parents always told me how much they appreciated your coming to give them Holy Communion, and my mom is so happy that you still come even after my dad died. Thank you for doing that. You are one special lady. God has blest you with a wonderful family, and I know they will help you during this difficult time. There is a beautiful hymn; I believe the title is "On Eagle's Wings", and one of the sentences goes something like this: "and hold you in the palm of His Hands"...and I pray that God will "hold you in the palm of His Hands"...take care, Patty (Plis) Dennis (daughter of Casimir and Helen Plis)
