Rob, Mary Jean and Suzy and Families,

I am so sorry to hear about your father. He was a good man. Now he's with our Lord, your mother and all his friends who have passed before him. Now all his worries and pains are over and he is enjoying eternal life. God bless you all.

We are sending our sympathy to your whole family.
We want you to know we are thinking of you all.
My grandparents were Marvin Gibson and Zellora in Paris Illinois, who had the mum garden.
I know I was very young, but I do know your family came by there to visit.
Our prayers are with all of you. Marsha and Peter McEvoy

We were very sorry to hear about Bob's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

Your mom and dad were wonderful and caring friends and neighbors (Merrillville 1966-1971). Remember the Blizzard of '67? Bill made it to Mary Jeans' wedding all the way from Guatemala.

Marina (now, Kosak) lives in Naperville. She is a Dean of Students at Plainfield North H.S.

Love and God Bless you all. Your mom and dad took great pride in all your accomplishments.
