To the Kochan family, I offer my condolences. I met Mary and corresponded with her briefly through our shared love of Jesus. Praying for all those who knew and loved her. May she rest and peace and may you cherish her memory.

Dan and Kochan family...Our hearts are open to ya'll. A loss such as this can hardly be compensated for. Our fondest memories are the shared bible classes with Ron and Mary's birthday party at your home where ya'll so graciously included us. Needless to say, our prayers are with ya'll. GOD bless and keep us all.
