Our family was so sad to hear of Susan's passing. We remember Mrs. Samardzich, Diane, Sandi, Dan, and Catherine so well from S. Kolin in Chicago. Also, our prayers go out to Jack. I went to school with Diane and remember the twins when we were at Maria. Also, darling Catherine, such a sweatheart. Also, Dan and the racing cars and Mr. Samardzich, God bless his soul. We send our love and sympathy at this most sad time. We are full of memories of your beautiful family. God bless. Greetings from Elizabeth Pieza who is now living in Colorada and my mom Mary Pieza who is now living in Wisconsin. Tony is living with mom and Mike lives with his family in Colorado.
