Sincerest condolences from the entire Cooney family. I am a friend of Lori's from St. Barbs. We lost my father in January. We all feel your pain. I also want to thank Mrs. Kozderka for the drives to sporting events. Mr. K. made this possible. You never realize the people you touch. As for those left behind, God still has work for us. As hard as it is, we are still on his mission. I will remember your Dad and Mom for the work they did and don't even realize the impact they have made on others for the better. P.S. Thanks for letting the grade school girls have slumber parties at your house. I never realized the noise we made until I had kids of my own.
