To the Mihas family - I am so sorry to hear the news about Mr. Mihas. My memories of him are nothing but fond ones. Growing up with the Mihas family, he was always extremely kind. I never once remember him raising his voice. I am so sorry we will be out of town and unable to attend the services. It would have be so nice to see you all. However, Popie, Pamela, Gus and Mrs. Mihas, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Alex Bernacchi and family.
