To the Karolich Family:

Regretfully we are unable to travel to the wake to offer our condolences.

Marion was a classmate of mine, (Marianne Glynn Batchen), at St. Columbanus and Acquinas.

On November 22, a few of us of the class of 1943 went to mass at ST. Columbanus to celebrate the church's 100th anniversary. None of us recalled a mass that lasted 2 1/2 hours, it was a 1/2 hour mass and a 2 hour concert with a lot of singing and Hallelujahs.

We missed seeing Marion and John. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Marianne and Rich Batchen
