Obituaries/Tributes

Gary, Chris and your families, So sorry for your loss. I didn't know your Mom well, but the few times I met with her she was a great lady. God bless you and yours now and always. Randy

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of fun times at your home, with all us kids running around everywhere, eating kielbasi, playing games, and being yelled at by our parents! I distinctly remember one time (maybe someone's first communion party?) when your mother was carrying on a conversation with another adult, while simultaneously whipping her shoe off, swatting one of you with it, and replacing it on her foot without missing a beat in the conversation! I also remember crying so hard at your dad's funeral that I lost my contact lens and was searching for it on the floor of the funeral home - and found it! I trust you have many more wonderful memories growing up in your family, thankful for parents who loved you (and each other); it is one of life's greatest blessings. Chrissy, thank you for being so kind and generous, helping my parents with various plumbing/heating problems over the years, especially since my dad has passed away. I remember you hunting with him, years ago! You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve your dear mother's passing.
