Dear Jean,
Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the death of Warren. Bruce left this earthly life 2years and 11 weeks ago. I know what your going through. It's not easy. But hold on to the the wonderful memories you have of your life together. I'm sure when Bruce greeted Warren at the "pearly gates" the first question he asked him was---"Where's your CHHHHacket?"
Remember from Macungie Band days?
Love,
Joanne Kressley

Dear Jean,
I was so sorry to hear about your recent loss. I, too, have many wonderful memories of Buckeye Road, and my first baby-sitting job for the Oswalds.
May your memories bring you peace and comfort.

Want you to know my heart dropped for you all when I heard. My love and prayers will always be with you.
"Tall Tale"
Come sit down and listen, so you'll see what you're missin'
About a story of the old days.
I went through old memories, old photographs and melodies of all the crazy things in their days.
Now time has passed I sit and ponder, the tales in my heart grew fonder, a special thought within will last.
Because they all became old memories, old photographs and melodies, of times that we lived in the past.
We all walked 4 miles to school in snow, sleet, and hail!
What would our dreams be if we didn't tell tales?
So come sit down and listen my child, and you'll see what your missin' my child, bout' a story I know that will last.
We'll go through old memories, old photographs and melodies, of times that "I" lived in the past.
This is how "my" legacy will survive, your son, your brother, your husband, your father, your grandfather and great grandfather.
I live forever through each of you!
As God blessed my life to be....

Barb, Jean, Tamara & Brittany,
We go back many years together. I was shocked to learn of the passing of your father, Barb. We have been through so much together and I will truly miss your father. He was a great and fun person to be around. The good times will always stay in my mind. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Barb, your mom Jean, and your girls.
Love,

Dear Jean and Barbara:
It was with much sadness we read of Warren's passing this morning.
Brought back so many wonderful memories of our lives on Buckeye Road.
It is quite a coincidence that Bob Bennicoff is coming over this morning. We will share the news.
Want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. It is going to be a difficult time, but with God's help you will see it through.
Fondly,
Tony and Jean
