Dearest Chris,

You are always in my thoughts and now again in my prayers. I lost my mom to cancer 14 years ago. She would have been 84 this year. I still miss her love, guidance, and wisdom. How wonderful that you and your family had the joy of having your mom with you for so many years.

Chris, your kindness, intelligence, work ethic, and sweet spirit are a tremendous reflection of what a wonderful person and mom your mother must have been. I know you'll miss her, but I pray that God's peace and love will comfort you and your family at this difficult time. I'm sure both our moms are up in heaven watching over us as I'm writing this. Remember that your PUSD family loves you and we are here for you.

Much Love,

Dianne

Dear Chris and family,

Many of us at work feel like we know Rose - the wonderful, loving mother and grandmother who brought joy into your lives. Chris would always share "Rose" stories with me which were both heartwarming and fun. Our hearts and prayers are with you as you meet together in celebrating her life and the precious memories that will forever remain with you.

With love,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time in losing your dear sweet mother and grandmother, Rose. May peace of mind and heart be yours as you share the wonderful stories and cherished memories she has left behind. She gave great love, devotion, guidance, understanding and a sense of humor to each of you and in return you gave this back to her. She is now at peace and will suffer no more. All my love to each of you.

My thoughts are with you as you celebrate Rose's life. Chris, your strength and love are just a few of your many gifts. Your mother was so fortunate to have such a loving family to surround and support her. I'm sure that you will all gain strength from each other, but please know that your family here in Peoria loves and misses you.

There are simply no adequate words to share at a time like this. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Having never actually met Rose we can only determine what a blessing and a gift she must have been to all through her reflection in Chris. We all love Chris in the Peoria District. May God's blessings be upon you all.

Chris,



I did not know your mother, but I know her daughter. As such, I can assume that the world has lost a kind, hard working and wonderful person with a great sense of humor. This world will be forever impoverished. However, our loss is Heaven's gain.



I wish you the best.



Most sincerely,



John

I would like to thank you for allowing me the memories that grandma Rose has instild in me. Although your family was a part of my life for such a brief time, you guys will live in my heart forever. As you celebrate her journey to the heavens, your family can always be proud of knowing that grandma Rose was right where she wanted to be..with her family. And the whole family should be proud of the job you did making her final months here on earth filled with love, comfort and special times. Thank you for being you.

Chris and family, I am saddened at your loss but know that your love and faith as a family have helped you help "Rose" through the difficult times; and that you helped her rejoice in the good times as well. Chris,I hope you know how much joy you and your family gave to your mother throughout her life. Your wonderful personality, terrific sense of humor and great capacity for love and compassion were reflections of the love and devotion your mother (and father) gave you as a child. I'm sure your mom is thinking now, from her position in heaven, "Chris, just keep helping people and making them happy, like you always have."

My thoughts and those of my wife, Marge, are with you and your family.

To the family of Rose Czochara: You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of the care that was given to Rose these last five months. She truly was a special person to have such a loving family caring for her. They say that we learn what we live and from what I have seen Rose was a wonderful teacher to have such loving daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren involved in her life. May she rest in peace.



Sincerely,
