Dear Sue,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I used to work with you on the old 5A at St. Clair. Many years have passed since then, but I remember you as an excellent nurse and mentor. I am retired now (back surgery). I am re-married, and still living in the South Hills. My son is now 19. Please contact me if you would like.
With deepest sympathy,
Cynthia (Vance) Walker, RN

Aunt Helen and my dear cousins, Uncle Rege was my favorite uncle. He was the funniest man and always had a smile on his face. I will miss his emails and all his jokes. He is now among all his family and friends and he is not far from our thoughts ~ Sharon Schonbak Schaffer and Family

Dear Helen & Family of Regis, I can never think of Regis without smiling. He always made me & Dute' laugh with his wonderful humor. What a legacy he is leaving to all of us who enjoyed his company. The Dinkels always knew how to make all of us happy. We will miss you Rege. Now you can make God laugh. With Sincere Sympathy, Helen Kramer

Those we love are never really lost to us. We feel them in so many special ways-with friends and memories that are never gone. So grieve awhile and let your grief be comforted by the God you love and trust.
