I know you are enjoying your new adventure - I hope you get to peak down every so often and see how great your grandbabies and their babies are doing. Keep doing it your way! Love you!

My dear friend Jack, I will always remember the fun times we had for many, many years. The great times in the basement at the Widlacki's dancing to the 50's rock & roll, you were quite the dancer and wore me out most times. The fun nights we had bowling at Bleekers with my brother Bob. I will cherish these memories and keep them safely in my heart Prayers to Sue and all your beautiful family. One day we will all be together again, until then know that you will be missed by all who knew you and loved you. <3
