Dear Mary,
I don't know if you remember me after all these years, but you were in my freshman homeroom at Carmel. I remember you well because you were such a lovely, young lady. I am so sorry about the transition of your dad. I lost my mom to Parkinson's two years ago and my aunt this past February. It is an insidious disease that affects the whole family. I had no idea until I watched my mom deteriorate right before my eyes. I'm sending you a warm hug and my love.
Sincerely,
Joyce Kosinski

Dear Arlene,
Today we particularly remember a trek to the park last summer when John's continued determination to play tennis so impressed a tennis instructor. John's efforts along with yours in creating a wonderful atmosphere, helped John cope. We wish we could be with you for the celebration of John's life. Our hearts and thoughts of so many happy times are with you.
Love,
Tony and Joyce

Dear Aunt Arlene and Chiaro children - Uncle John will be sorely missed. I so enjoyed our time together, whether we were working on the computer together or just talking. While I realize that this is a difficult time for all of you, I take consolation knowing that he is at peace. We will continue to keep him and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
