Dear Cathy,
What a wonderful Father you had, always with a kind word, a caring word. You have proven that the apple did not fall far from the tree, for you have been a wonderful daughter, always there for him. I know your lifelong memories will continue to hold that very special place in your heart. I am sorry for your loss, and just know that your Mom and Dad are "catching up" on lots of stuff! Take care, Your friend and past co-worker, Karen Rozanski

Cathy & Bob,

Just a note to express my deepest sympathies on the passing of Ed. I so much enjoyed sitting and talking with him during those many backyard bbq's over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Gina & Bob and all the grandchildren in this time of grief. Your dad was a special man.
