Carl: I'm sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. Holly said it best below, that it seems like moms should just always be there...

My sympathy to you and your brothers.

I wanted to express my sincere sympathy to your family. Mr. Stachura was my father's Toledo Police partner for many many years, as well as good friends. My Mother, Virginia Potrzebowski, was a very good friend of both your parents.

My Mother had a stroke 15 years ago, and remained in contact with your Mother over the years. Even though my Mother could not speak, she understood everything and we would call your Mother so my Mother could hear your Mother's voice. Your Mother always made my Mother laugh talking about old times.

My parents are in an Assisted Living home and are aware of the passing of your Mother. Due to their aging condition, they will not be able to attend the service, but they wanted me to tell you how sorry they are.
