Dear Mrs. Pienta, Children & Louie,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of John. My dad, Jerry Konczal, was a friend of John and Louie for many, many years and I remember hearing him speak of John often. Unfortunately, my dad passed away 10 months ago but always had nice things to say about your husband and dad.
May God see you through this most difficult time.
