Dear Janet and Family,
We, three sisters, visited your family home back in 1979 and had a wonderful time with you and your children and reflecting on family memories with our cousin John. Our sister Sharon passed away in 2010 at 65. We have a picture of this visit with Jan, John, Sharon and us in a family collage in our home. Our dearest sympathy, Carol Ann & Debbie Kress

You are in my thoughts...

Janet, Beth, Susan & David...
I just got the call from Gloria & I'm sorry to hear about my buddy of many years. We shared the 'Polish Thing' & proud of it. We share so many memories thru the years and I have that. I'm headed that way in June & hoped for a visit. Sometimes it just doesn't workout. I know he was a very proud man and proud of his family...
R.I.P. my friend. He called me Dickie..

Dear Aunt Janet and Family, our hearts are heavy with sorrow over the loss of our great Uncle John! Just sitting here typing this message many wonderful memories come to mind. If I can share one, when I was a child Uncle John driving to get us pizza in snowy conditions. He told me that nothing can stop him! He is cherished by many!
