Dad, I will always miss you and mom. Your sensitivity, practicality, and most of all love of your family will never be forgotten. You have taught me many valuable lessons in life which have helped me to be who I am today. Say hi to mom and if you are playing ball again, I know you'll have a better batting average then Babe Ruth. With all my love, Rick

Jim, I was cleaning out some old photos and found a picture of your children at Christmas years ago. I googled your name to see if I could find you and Mary, for old times sake. And, unfortunately, I came upon your father's obituary. I am sorry to hear of your loss but happy to know your father lived a long life. It doesn't matter though, how many years we have our parents, the parting is still just as hard. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Dear Judi & Phil,
Even though we haven't been in touch for several years, both of you are frequently in my thoughts. Please accept my family's condolences on the death of your father. May you and your entire extended family only know joy and happiness in the future.

My deepest sympathy to the extended Bocek family. Milt was one of the nicest guys I've ever known. Guess he missed Vicki so much he felt he had to join her.

Dear Jim, Rick and Judy,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Father. Growing up as a neighbor of yours, I remember looking across the yard and there was your Dad, working in the garden, always keeping your home looking lovely. Deepest Sympathy from the Schwartz Family.

For my dear Uncle Milt--one of my most favorite uncles--may you rest in peace with Auntie Vicki now--no more sickness! You're probably already playing baseball and swatting them out of the park with Dad and the rest of your buddies! (Hey, do the Angels play up there?? haha) I love you, Coach, and will see you again someday...
