Mark, Amy, Logan & Gavin,
Words cannot express how VERY SORRY we are for your loss. Mark, we have NO idea how you feel, losing not one, but both your parents at such a young age. Your father must have been a very special person to raise someone as strong in character and good-hearted as you. Please do not hesitate to lean on your FAMILY OF FRIENDS at this trying time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the Nusko Family,

Another part of the St. Stephen's family has gone to rest. I was truly sad to hear that Ray was gone, but I know my mom is very happy to have her buddy back with her so they can enjoy the "good ol' days" again. Your dad was a very special person and did a lot for everyone while he was with us on this earth. I'm sorry for your sadness but be glad that he can be with his wife once again and sit around and bs with all the St. Stephen's crew who left us before him. I wish you nothing but strength to move forward and happiness of memories that you've all shared. May the Lord's love and guidance be with you always!

Dad,
You struggled over the years with your illness but now you have reunited with Mom & Grandma. It brings comfort to all the family knowing that you are in a better place. Our hearts will heal over time but if there is one thing you taught us is to be strong for eachother and that we will. We know your in a better place drinking your coffee with Mom & Grandma and we know you will be with us always. You all will be our Guardian Angels. Until we meet again.

Love You Dad.
Amy

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He was a good man and was very close to my heart. He's up in heaven now with my grandmother, who, I know, welcomed him with open arms, and are having fun like old times.
