Condolences
Your Dad
Pam,
Please accept my sympathies on the passing of your Dad. When I was his picture I couldn't believe how much he looks like he did back when we were at St. Joe's!! He was indeed very handsome. I remember he was always very nice, even to us as snotty 13 year olds! I hope you have lots of memories to carry you through those times when you really miss him. I lost my sister almost 16 years ago, and I still rely on my memories to help in those times when I really miss her.
Give my best to your family. Be good and take care,
Warmly,
Mary

MRS.PRZYCHODZIEN AND FAMILY,
SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF JOHN. HE INSTALLED HEATING SYSTEMS FOR ME AND MY SONS AT A DIFFICULT TIME IN OUR LIFE. HE WAS ALWAYS KIND, AND I WOULD ALWAYS RECOGNIZE HIM IN THE VAN WITH HIS SNOW WHITE HAIR. WITH OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY.
Dear Family, I really cared
Dear Family,
I really cared for Mr. P. He was always in such high spirits even when he knew he was ill. I will never forget him telling me (everytime I saw him) about "Einey". I can imagine that dog wrapping himself around Mr. P's neck. He loved life, his family, and that dog. God bless you and my prayers are with you.
