Dear Paulee & Casey
How sad we were to hear about Dee. We've thought of you often but unfortunately never got back together with the three of you. We remember the good times and all the laughs. So sorry for your loss

Pauline and Casey and Family.

I knew three members of the Koblick Family while a student at Mark Twain Elementary School and at John F. Kennedy High.

Roseanne and I were classmates. I got to know Ron and Don through various games at recess and after school.
Ron, Roseanne and Don were very close to each other and usually walked to Mark Twain and home together.
Don showed many leadership qualities early in life and usually would organize touch football games
or baseball games. He did not win as often as he would have liked but he would smile when razzed by his teammates. He could charm his friends into following his suggestions
and try to win the next game.

Roseanne and Ron must be feeling
a sorrow that goes without description. The thousands of memories they lived through with Don will always be theirs to remember.

Charles and Suzanne I did not know on a personal level. They were a few years ahead of me in school. Losing
Don must be a larger loss for them because they have lost the youngest sibling. He might have been the child they bought that extra present for at Christmas or a birthday. They might have helped Don learn his ABC's or to ride a bike.

My sympathies go out to you Pauline and Casey. You can rest in the comfort of knowing you have four strong people and their spouses and families who will be there to lift up your spirits in the days and months
ahead.
