Susan, Sorry to have heard your
dad passed away. No matter how old he was, you would still have liked him to have stayed around a while longer.

Anytime we saw him he was quiet and smiling. He was a joy to be around at the Turcich gatherings. His nice personality will be missed. Our prayers go out to you.We are Rich Zaleski's sister & brother-in-law.

Dear Susan & Dean,
Growing up in the Knetl home on Parnell was truly a blessing for me. To have had Tona and Charlie
as mentors and as guides in my young life has meant the world to me. I know I echo the same type of sentiments for my Mom, too. Charlie was quite simply the wisest and best man I've ever known. He always had the voice of reason and compassion. I learned alot from his guidance and caring ways. I loved Tona and Charlie for their special ways and their care for one another. I truly miss them both and can say they will be a part of me forvever. God Bless you at this difficult time and I pray for your inner peace and strength now and always.
With Love,
How you can show support
