John and Judy Lepkowski:
We are sad to hear about the death of your father/father-in-law.
We heard about it through the Lisa/Karen grapevine. Karen sent us an e-mail after she heard about it from Lisa. We were in South Carolina and Karen was in Florida, therefore had to miss the servicies....so sorry.
Times like these are sad, although he led a good long life. Maybe you can reflect on the good times with your Dad to relieve some of your sorrow.
You are both in our prayers.

Dear Martha,
I cannot express the loss of my friendship with John so I cannot
even imagine your loss. John was very good to you & you were very good for John. You both truly complimented each other to form a very special relationship that brought joy & happiness to both of you. You are both very special people & what a blessing that you found each other. John has been united with his Heavenly Loved Ones and now he is officially retired from his temporary earth life to an Eternal Life in Heaven. God Bless Both of You!!

John shared many stories with me. Fishing, how he grew up, stories of PA., playing cards, people he knew, his working life, car rides, the price of groceries, etc. John and I had our differences of opinion sometimes but would always listen to each other. I was not his biological daughter but he treated me as if I was a member of his family. I will always be thankful he was a part of our family and that Mom shared 16 years with him. He always tried to educate me on the ways of the world, I am thankful that Martha and John found each other after the loss of their first loves. Noone should be alone and they were wonderful companions. God Bless You, John, I sincerely wish you Peace.
