How sad to see the last of the Petraks gone, I was good friends with the Petrak children back in the 1940's when we used to go to square dances at the Optimo.

Uncle George had a way to either make you laugh or scare the pants off of you. You never knew which one it would be. I have many memories from my childhood when we went to their house and I will treasure those forever. I heard the thunder the other night, (the Petrak polka) I will continue to pray for strenghth for aunt Louella and the rest of the family. I miss you all and love to everyone.
