Dearest Pops

May you finally be at peace. May you always have a full can of Hamms and a full pack of smokes. May you never have holes in your shoes. May you always know how much you will be missed. Much love and say hi to Mums for me!

Dear Pops,

I hope you are at peace now. Just want to say thanks for the gift of your wonderful children, whom I consider to be my brothers and sisters. Say hello to Mums for me. Here's a Hamm's beer to you.

Dear Pops,

Thanks for all the good times and memories I have because of you. I will always remember the pinochle games with the all trickers and you taught me how to bid the right way.

Also thanks for your children whom have been the best friends to me all my life especially Kathy. I thank God that you sent your Irish children to the Polish grammer school because then my life would have been boring. I will miss you and pray for all the rest of my life.



Thanks for the memories

Love Always

Bobbi
