Condolences to the Stasiw family. We remember how Mr. Stasiw would come to the funeral parlors and say something about the plight of those Ukrainians who had come to the U.S. and he always left some of Ukraine's soil in a jar to be placed in the casket of the deceased. Eternal memory. God bless the Stasiw family.
Love and appreciation, Nicholas & Carol Hanych and family
