Trina, I didn't know when to say it, without bringing out your tears again, but I have wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. Your mother was always smiling and funny when I saw her. I hope it helps to know she is in a better place. My prayers and love go out to you and your family.

Trina, Ray Sr and the Lewandowski family... I am so sorry for your loss. It had been many years since I have seen any of you, but remember when we were teenagers hanging out at your house. She wasn't just your mother, but someone I also considered 'mom away from mom'. Very easy to talk with and always there to help anyone in need. She was such a giving woman and her spirit will always live on in those whose lives she touched. We were all blessed to have known her.
Warm Regards,

Stephanie

I am so sorry to hear about my cousin Janice; I remember visiting with her and Diane in South Toledo with their "Uncle Al" when we were children; and as adults; though not as often as I wished. My heart goes out to her children and family. Janice's picture is beautiful and brings back memories. I know she loves her children very much, as we would talk about our children when we met. God Bless, Janet Kay (Kemmerley) and Craig Rehkopf & Family
