THE RUSTIK FAMILY

October 21, 2014

Hard to believe it's been 47 years the 28th of this month we met Rich and the Pratl Family at the wedding of his brother Don to our sister Cheryl. Our brother, who was two at the time and their ring bearer will turn 50 next year. Rich and his Godchild, Kara can now spend time together drinking Corona.

My Deepest Sympathy for the Loss of Rich Who
Always managed to make everyone smile with a joke or comment. May God
grant him eternal Peace and may your Happy memories see you thru this difficult time.
