From the Galica Children (Joseph, Greg, Kathy, Marge and Jeanne)

Our Mom and Dad (Joseph and Jean Galica) shared many, many stories of the fond memories of the times they spent with both Jocko and Sophie. We lost Dad in 2007 and Mom in 2010 so we know the pain you are feeling. We are very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

To the entire Kozak Family,
I first met Sophie and Wally in the 60's at many Firks Exhibitions social functions. We also saw each other on occasion when Wally worked for my company, Convention Exhibits.

She always beamed with love and pride as she updated me on the entire family. More recently, I was also cheered by her young voice, family pride and enthusiasm during our phone conversations around Christmas.

I just wanted all of you to know that the warmth of Sophie and (Wally) both has touched me over the years.

My most favorite memory of cousin Zos is her sense of humor. I'd see Zos at Grandma Wrobleski's, Aunt Katie's, or Aunt Fran's house and she always had a smile, a laugh, and a hug to share.
She will be missed by all.

Steve, Peter, Carol, Cathy, Martha, and Michale, all are in our prayers and thoughts in this time of loss. Remember you are loved. Zos will always be here if we keep her in our hearts.
Love to you All
Sandy (Darwell) Troupe (Wally's youngest girl)

Dearest, Martha, Carol and Bob, and your entire family,

George and I send you our deepest condolences on the passing of your dear mother. I extend to you also the condolences of all the members of the South Cook MS Self-Help Group. I remember hearing how your mother, Sophie, so supported you through the trials of living with MS. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.

Peter, Carol, Kathy, Martha, Michael, and Stephen- please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I enjoyed spending some time with Aunt Zos when I was in for Rene's service and have many memories of her "presence" in so many lives. Just wanted to also let you know that I have made a donation to the NMSS to honor your mom- many blessings to you
