Pat,
My deepest sympathy. You and your family are in my prayers. You have been such a wonderful daughter for both of your parents. The care you gave your father was extraordinary. Bless you.

Aunty Dorothy and Uncle Gene were a part of my childhood. Thanksgiving and Easter. The steel bowls full of chips and the carnival colored glasses he made sure were always filled. "The Nuns Room". The beer signs and the pool table. Moving the two ton air-conditioners. Uncle Gene was a steady prescence, always there. Other than my mom, he was the last of that generation from the Krzysieks. He'll be remembered and missed.

Pat, I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. Although apparently not a surprise, it is always a shock when a parent passes on. Cherish your good memories.
