Dad,



You know that I miss you more than words can say. I am at peace knowing that you are with mom, Uncle Joe, Uncle Ron and your mom and dad. It brings me confort knowing that you are no longer in pain and can drive a truck again. I know that's what you are doing. I miss you and will never forget all the wonderful stories you had and all the time we spent as a family. I remember all the times me, you, mom, Dawn, and Boby would do something and we had so much fun. All the drive-in movies we went to in the summer. You will forever have a lasting place in my heart for all the things you did for Cassidy.. She will always remember you. I will make sure of that. We love and miss you..You go have your coffee and chase mom around. Give her a kiss for me and tell her I love and miss her too and don't worry aboput me and Cassidy we will be o.k.



Love Annie and Cassidy(your pride and joy)

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My dear brother Bob:



I will miss our conversations. When you were well, you had so many good trucking stories to tell. You are now among my loved ones that have gone before me. Look down on me. Someday we will all be together again. All my love, your sister, Gloria

Hi this is from Darlene Lipinski in Anaheim California. I am Ron's sister and I did know your brother from when he and my brother hung out in Chicago. Ron married Gloria and have met your dad in between the years and he was a really nice man. I am glad that Gloria got to make it to the service and I notified my cousin Rachael who attended also. She got to meet all of you and called me. She loved the thermos and the boots. She never met your dad but I told her to be pay her respects and to be there for Gloria. She enjoyed meeting all of Bob's family. My mom and I want to send our sympathy at this time and a mass that will be said for Bob out here at my mom's church. Sincerely Darlene Lipinski & Estelle Lipinski

To the family of Bob Palka.

I send my deepest sympathy to you and the family.
