Mr. Lesko, Robert, Karen and families,
I can't express how very sorry I am to hear of your loss. Rob and Karen, I will always remember your mom as the amazingly dedicated and loving mother that she was. She was always so kind to me. (Karen, remember how she was there for us when we tried out for cheerleading at St. Tom's and practiced at your house?!) I have all happy memories of her. Most of all, she was always so very, very proud of both of you. Know that she is still looking over you and your kids with that same love and pride! I know she will be always with you in so many ways.

My sincere condolences,
The Robinson-Ryzewski Family
Don, Rea and Aira

I think the best and happiest time that I recall with Gerry, my cousin, was at a Family Reunion picnic, in Whiting, IN, where Gerry had won some type of Beauty contest, and I remember her being crowned the "Queen". She was so happy, that day! My heart goes out to the Lesko family, as well as to Butch and Annette, her siblings. She is at peace now, and with her parents and other family members, and only a heart beat away whenever you need her!

Dearest Lesko Family, my heart and prayers go out to each and everyone of you. Mrs Lesko was a GREAT woman and will be missed. I was so sorry to hear of her passing, but as everyone has said NOW the Lesko Family has ANOTHER ANGEL in heaven to watch over them. Just remember that even though she's no longer on this earth that she will still walk beside you everyday for the rest of your lives, and she no further then your hearts.
