My dearest friend Marilyn, I am writing on here just in case I don’t make it to the wake. It all depends how long my tanks last. I know you would understand as you and I had a lot in common. I wish we could have gone to the casino one more time. We used to have so much fun. We used to have so much fun at Boppers, the singles dances (we won’t mention the last one lol) You will always be in my thought and heart always. LOVE YOU ALWAYS. KAREN, JOHN, LORI AND ROBIN YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND HEART; IF YOU NEED ANYTHING LET ME KNOW.
So sorry to hear that your Mom passed. We met at a difficult time for your parents, when Robin was born. As life brings us all kinds of challenges, we go forward and accept those challenges. Jeffrey and Robin were good friends in high school, and even went to a prom together. Will always remember your beautiful Mom and how much she loved her children. May she rest in peace.
My deepest condolences on this sad occasion. Marilyn and I hadn’t seen much of each other in the last several years but we did keep in touch. I will miss her.
Lori, thinking of you and Zdenek at this most difficult time. My condolences to you and all of your family. You know if there is anything I can do all you have to do is ask. Seems like just yesterday you guys were in high school. Always praying for your happiness and well being.
Love
Pat
Karen, Thinking of you all at this sad time.
I know that you were close to your mom and
did everything together. May she not suffer
any more and be at peace.
