Dad, I love you. I know you would have wanted me to tend to duties and obligations on my home front, you always took care of your family first.

Uncle Matt, your love and kindness lives on in all of the people you touched. My earliest memories are of parties at the Evergreen Park house and you and Aunt Helen on your bicycle built for two. Although I am deeply saddened, I rejoice in the knowledge you are with your brother, Uncle Bill, and Grandma & Grandpa and all of our dearly departed; now in heavenly embrace of our Lord.
