Ann, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I know we haven't been in touch for many years but you were a great friend and your dad was such a great guy. He always made me laugh whenever I saw him. Again, I'm so very sorry. Lynn(Kroeber)Wojtkowski

I am so sorry to read in the paper about your dad Roberta. I met him only once that I can remember at your brothers wake, Mikey. I miss Mikey so much also.
I lost my husband Chuck recently also and know the pain of losing a husband Mrs. Pienkosz. May the peace of God surround you and your family.
Roberta, you must remember my husband Chuck and myself Carol. We were big time BBSers...computers way back before AOL got in the way of all our fun. You take care Roberta.

Judy, Roberta, Cindy and Annie,
Mike was the best. He was always positive and caring with a great sense of humor. Always making us laugh. Jim and I, Eddie, Kristen and David were so happy to see him last August and enjoyed our visit. We know that he was in poor health but still took the time to come see us. That was Uncle Mike. That meant so much to all of us. Now he can rest. Judy, you got the good one. Our prayers are with all of you.

Mrs Pienkosz, Roberta, Ann and Cindy I just found out about this moment about Mr Pienkosz. He was an incredible man. I remember him when I went over your house as always so happy with a big smile. I loved his sense of humor. This is a very difficult time, but he is no longer suffering and with your brother. I'm sure you have such great memories that will help bring you thru this tough time. Remember, he will always be with you in everything you do. There will be certain times you will smile and just know he is there.
Love you all

Dad,

Thank you for welcoming Miguel into your heart and into our family. His love runs deep as you are the father he longed to have and now is deeply saddened to have lost.

Thank you for being there for me during rough times and making me laugh (and smile) all the others (even as my driving instructor). My heart aches to not have you in my life but is warmed by the thought that you are in Heaven, without pain, with all of our loved ones.

We are all counting on you to "supervise" during our pierogi making party this weekend and we will be certain to make them extra sweet, just as you like them!

Mom, Roberta and Cindy - don't forget our ROAD TRIPS to carry out dad's wishes! :)

Keep smiling....

Love always, Ann and Miguel

Grandpa,

Although all of us are deeply saddened that you are no longer here, we are glad that you are no longer suffering. I am incredibly pleased that you were able to see me in my wedding dress, which I know was incredibly important to you (and likewise to me).

I know that you and dad will both be walking with me in October, even if it is in spirit.

Love Always,
Elizabeth
