Dear family, this is a sad day for me on the anniversary of our father`s death. But it is good to remember all the good times I had with our special dad and wonderful mom and my brothers. Even though I miss him, I know he is praying for us in heaven. Thank you, dad for all that you taught us, for all the laughter and for your quiet presence. 20 years is a long time to be away from us, yet the memories of all the good times are a real comfort. Love always. Chris

Hi my dear Dad, Thinking of you today on your birthday, and remembering some of the many celebrations we had on your special day. Mom would bake you a cake, and if it was a work day, we'd rush through supper so we could get to the cake. Miss you, especially your and moms' visits to our house, so much fun. Please keep praying for all our families. Love, Chris

Mom, It's been 20 years today that you left us, and it feels like yesterday. I made some lentils and rice in your honor and it was good, but not as good as yours and grandma's.
My memories of you and our family are as fresh and special as ever; I forget what I had for breakfast this morning, but no problem remembering all the good times we had. Just keep praying for all of us. My love to Dad and Gerry. Love you forever. Miss you...

Oh Mom and Dad, sad memories this time of the year.. Dad, 19 years ago yesterday, we said our final goodbye,and started grieving for our loss of you,, then the unthinkable happened the next day, 19 yrs ago today. The loss of you and then Gerry, and Mom nine months before that, is still too much to bear. But I keep in mind, that Our dear Lord is taking care of all of you, and that you are praying for all of us, and are at peace. I am convinced of that. Brings comfort... Love always.

Hi Mom and Dad, well the hot weather is back today and all week. Thank God for air conditioning..
Len celebrated his 70th birthday last Saturday; family and friends joined us for lunch and then back to our house afterwards. It was a lot of fun. I remember a couple of your visits here in July for his birthday many years ago. And 31 years ago today, band was practicing at your house for your big outdoor party on the 18th. I was so glad to be home for that one. I really miss those days....
Keep praying for all your families, and my thoughts and love are with you both and Gerry every day.

Mom and Dad, you would not have liked this...I don't remember if we ever had a Father's day this hot!! 100 degrees.
Memories of Father's day with your visits are with me today. Dad, you were a great father, teacher, and grandfather etc. Your devotion to Our Lord, the Blessed Mother and our beautiful Church was an effective example for all of us. We love and miss you Dad. Please keep praying for us. Mom and Gerry, pray for us too.

Thinking of you especially today Mom...it's been 13 years of missing you. Carol was visiting us all week and left yesterday. She was remembering when you took us kids to see "The Ten Commandments" at the theater. We shared a lot of funny and great memories of you and our family.
Please pray for us and all our families. I love you and still miss you every day.

Mom, Another Easter season brings to mind a lot of memories, especially you and Dad's visits out here. We had such fun then. A few days ago, cousin Theresa and her family visited us. Wonderful visit, but too short. The first time a Korey has been here since 1998, you and Dad.
Please pray for us, Mom and Dad; we certainly can use them. Love and think of you every day.

Mom, remembered that 23 years ago today your mom, our grandma, passed away. It seems like a longer time than that. I know how much you missed her cause you would tell me that all the time. That's how much I miss you and Dad and Gerry. Sometimes it hits me from out of nowhere, esp at this time of the year, a new year. Please keep praying for our families. I love you all forever.

Just thinking about you, Mom, Dad and Gerry, as it gets closer to thanksgiving. Remembering family thanksgivings of years ago and also your surprise trip here in 1988. Wild.. But mostly just the six of us on Griffin St., and your famous delicious turkey and the food.. Mom, you cooked so good, and we ate so good too... I remember I just wanted thanksgiving to be perfect, and I would close the curtains and hoped that the telephone didn't ring. I just wanted us. good memories.
We're going to have a quiet thanksgiving this year, since part of my family are on a trip, but we'll be celebrating our grateful lives. No matter what kind of shape the world looks like now, we'll always have good memories of our past, a hopeful present, and God willing, a peaceful future. Love you, and miss all 3 of you.

Mom and Dad, thinking of you on this fine summer day. It is good to be outside, after the heat wave we've had.
Sadly, this world has seen so much tragedy lately, it is hard to feel peace with all going on.
But one thing I know. Death can steal your loved ones, but it can never steal your love. Love remains in your hearts, and in your memories. Please keep praying for all our families. Miss you...

Hi Mom, On this special day of celebrating Father's Day. I want to say Happy Father's day Daddy and to Gerry too.... really miss you, Dad, and remember all the good times. The TV Mass is now playing the hymn "And I will raise you up", it makes me tear up cause the song is so beautiful and full of hope. Thank you for praying for us. love and miss all of you.

Mom, A lot happened on this date in 2004. We got to the church for your funeral Mass, and there to greet me was Mike. He drove in early morn from Indiana to pay his respects to you and our family. It was a surprise and I was very grateful for his presence. Never dreamt, though, when I got up that morning how many states I would be in: state of grief, gratefulness, sadness, and state of Penna. Ohio, Indiana, fear then joy. After the funeral and reception, Mike insisted I drive back to Indiana with him to meet your great granddaughter, 2 weeks old. It was hard saying goodbye to you, Mom, and leaving Dad there, although I knew he was well taken care of. But unknowingly, we would be driving into the tail end of a tornado. What an unexpected and unbelievable drive, with the hail, rain, wind, lightening and green sky, I thought for a while there we may be seeing you very soon. Not funny, but true. We got to Indiana about 11:30 at night and as I held my baby grandchild for the first time, covered with the beautiful afghan you made for her before you died, I thought that if it wasn't for you and dad, I wouldn't be here holding this precious infant. I was grateful that less than 2 months later, our family were all able to travel from Indiana to Penna. to visit Dad, and have him meet the newest addition to our family, on a sunny day this time... love you always,

Missing your voice and your special laugh Mom. It's 12 years today since God took you. Knowing that you are with Him gives me comfort. Pray for me, Mom, and all our loved ones.
May 8, 2016
Mom, my thoughts are with you today,thinking of our last Mother's Day together 12 years ago. I had just became a grandmother for the first time, and then you passed away a few days later. As I've said many times before, I'm glad you got to call me "grandma" and see the photos of your new great granddaughter.
I'll always be grateful for the wonderful memories you have given me. My love to Dad, Gerry and mother-in-law Vickie, You are all greatly missed..

Just thinking...45 years ago today, Len and I left for San Francisco to meet his family, and to eventually get married a few weeks later. So long ago, yet feels like yesterday. It was difficult leaving you, Mom and Dad. Grateful for your understanding and love, and that the future back then was to be the great visits and wonderful celebrations we had when you came to stay with us. What glorious times we all had.
As said before, I really miss those days, wish they were back, a least for awhile.
Love to you both and Gerry.

Hi Mom and Dad. Just thinking of 28 years ago today, your visit with us out here, and getting ready for Theresa R's wedding. It was great fun celebrating with Angie and Joe, being with good friends and my dear parents. Theresa remembers Dad dancing all over with his hands up in the air, and Ginny saying how sweet you were, Mom. Memories of all the good times shared with both of you. Special pictures posted say it all. Love,

Well, Mom and Dad, Barbara is gone now too. Many years as neighbors with her and Harold, and then family with Gerry and Lynda getting married. The advice she would give was very helpful.She was a nice lady.
I miss the old days on Griffin St. It was plain old fun...As I get older, I appreciate everything that you, as parents, went through and everything you did for your family and friends.
Dad, you would have been 98 years a few days ago. I think of you both everyday with love, memories and prayers. Please keep praying for your families still here. Give Gerry my love.
Chris

It's Sunday morning. I just heard Mass, then made a little breakfast for the family. It reminded me of when you, Dad, and all of us would come home from church way back when. You rolled up your white Sunday shirt, got the fry pan out, and started making your breakfast concoction: heating oil and then, standing over the pan, sliced in potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, green peppers and whatever leftovers there were, mixing in the eggs last. We loved it! Then Mom, you would make your tasty and delicious roast chicken with rice stuffing for supper. We loved it, too!
Having great memories of our Sunday meals at our house.
Chris

Hi Mom and Dad, We were watching tapes of the parties at your house. To say we had fun would be putting it mildly...1986, 29 years ago yesterday. Visiting on front porch and Griffin, singing on patio and dancing in the backyard with families and friends. What a night... I miss those days, but more, I miss you and love you all. Keep praying for us.

Dear Mom, it's Father day and I wanted to write some thoughts of mine to Dad. What can I say except I miss you Dad, especially at this time of the year. We always looked forward to you and Mom's visit, not just because our yard never looked better, (but it did), and the meals were so delicious, (especially kibbee), when you were here, but because of the joy and fun you brought during your stay. I wanted your visits to last forever....
I know we will all see you and Mom and Gerry someday. Happy Father's Day. Dad. Please keep praying for us... Tom, Ron, Gerry and me, and all our families, whether here or gone. your loving daughter,

Another Mother's Day today. Thinking of you and wishing you were here Mom. We were remembering 24 yrs ago today, when you, Dad, most Schwarz and Coffrini families and Angie, were in Reno celebrating Vickie and Guido's 50th anniversary and their renewal of vows, and dinner at a great Italian Ristorante. There for 2 days and what fun we had! About 50 of us on the bus, kids and all, laughing so much. The teens thought we were all nuts, but they had a good time too, especially trying to sneak into the casinos.The stories of you and Dad continue to be priceless. Love to Dad, Vickie and Angie, and especially you, Mom. Miss and love you forever.
Chris
May 7, 2015
Mom and Dad, just remembering 11 years ago today. So much happened. I got to your apt after flying in. You and Dad both weren't well and Dad was put in the hospital that afternoon. Len called to tell me that I was a grandmother. Very mixed emotions that day, I'll tell you. Mike and Len managed to rapidly send pictures of your new great granddaughter Amelia, born in Indiana.
I was very grateful that you were both able to see her pictures, and that you got to call me grandma...You both would have loved her and she you.

Hi Dad, I wrote an entry here earlier, but it might not have gotten through to print.
It's been ten years since you left this earth. My memories of you bring me back to our wonderful youthful times, especially at 628, and our visits back there with you, mom, brothers and their families, with Len and the guys, so much fun and laughter.
Your visits out here were really fun too. I picture you in the yard and patio, "your domain", gardening, drinking coffee,enjoying the spring and summer breeze, and also the picnics, road trips,family celebrations, walking to St. Eugene's every day and making many friends along the way, bringing half of them home for us to meet. I met one of my best friends, Angie, because of you,Dad. We really enjoyed you and mom's visits, Thank you both for all your loving support. I love you all.
I also miss your inspirational presence Dad. Please keep our families in your prayers. Ask God for healing and peace of mind, body and soul, and a extra prayer for Len and our family, especially this week.
Chris
February 15, 2015
Dear Mom, your birthday tomorrow stirs many memories for me tonight, humorous and bittersweet. I remember, back around 1966, that Dad made up a song called Lincoln, Washington and Laurise.. ¢Û"let me tell you a story,¢Û about my wife Laurise"¢Û... comical..
Wishing you, Dad and Gerry were still here to celebrate. I love and miss you all.
Keep praying for us, asking Our Lord for peace of mind, body and soul for all our families.

Dear Mom, Today is Pentecost Sunday, and I remember when Dad and the choir would sing among other songs, "Veni Creator Spiritu". After Mass, you would say, "he outdrowned them all." And he did, for many years, with his powerful, beautiful voice.
Dad, I miss you, your voice, wit, caring and quiet wisdom.
Dear parents, keep praying for us. We have comfort knowing you and our brother are peace with the Lord.
Love,

Dear Mom, Tom is right, it is hard to believe it's been 10 years. Sandy and Jim R. visited us this weekend, and guess what most of the stories were about? you and Dad. We all miss you, and will never forget what a kind and caring fun mom you were to all of us, including friends. I'll love you forever.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I am remembering back to May 1991, and all of us boarding the bus to Reno to celebrate Vickie and Guido's 50th wedding anniversary. What a good time we had. It was special for me and Len to have our kids, you, Dad and Angie, along for the trip. Beautiful, scenic drive through the Sierra mountains, sunny day, blue skies with snow on all the trees limbs. Beautiful. Funny stories are still being talked about today about that trip.. What a enjoyable weekend.
Our last Mother's Day together was very special too. It was a week before you left us, and the staff was most kind to you, Dad and me, with great dinners and caring conversations.
I love and miss you Mom. My love to Dad and Gerry. Please continue praying for your children and our families. You are all in our thoughts and prayers everyday.
You were a special mother to all of us,
Chris

Dearest Mom, I talk to you every day, and pray for you every night. It has been nearly 10 years since you went to the Lord. How much I have missed you....Our family will never forget you. Len, Mike and Kevin still talk about all the visits and the fun, dinners, places we went, Reno, birthday celebrations, the friendly arguing and the laughter,and all the special friendships you made while you were here. So many people loved you. There are many memories, for which I am eternally grateful to have. When we see the pictures and videos, it seems like you are still here.
Everyone has gotten older now. I talk to Tom and Ron frequently. We all miss you, Dad and Gerry, and we speak of the wonderful times we had with all of you.
I am also grateful that you got to call me "grandma" a few days before you passed on. Our two beautiful granddaughters have gotten to know all about you over the years. You would have loved them...and they you. And Dad, we can imagine you calling them boopsie doodles, like you called all the kiddies.
Continue to pray for us, mom, and to my wonderful dad, whom I love and miss just as much, look after us, and ask God for His blessings on us. My love to dear Gerry. Mom, my last words to you were "I'll love you forever," and I will...
Tom, Chris, Ron, Gerry

Dear Friends, Thank you for your caring expressions of sympathy and memories of my mom. She was a very special person. And I know she would appreciate all the prayers you have said in her behalf over the years. She is at peace. She is with God. I miss her dearly.
God bless all of you for writing in this guest book. Christine and family.

To all the Korey family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of dear Laurise. I am so very thankful that I was able to get to know both Laurise and Leo on their many extended trips out to California to visit Chris, Len, Michael,and Kevin. What stands out when I think of Laurise is her wonderful sense of humor, her quick wit, and her laugh. Laurise also was very thoughtful and caring, always asking how each member of our family was. I will miss her.
Love and prayers,
Julia Miller
