Dear Simko family
Words can't express how saddened I was to hear about the loss of my cousin Mark. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Mark leaves behind a very wonderful family and I know as in the past the Simko family will all be a great source of comfort and support to one another.
I always looked forward to seeing Mark on my visits to Pennsylvania. My cousin Mark always reminded me of some buff and handsome leading man in the movies. To Marks siblings and my cousins The greatest gift our parents ever gave us was each other
Stay Simko strong during this very difficult time. I love you all very much. Cousin George Galla
