To the Piekarz/Engel Families:



I was so terribly sorry and saddened to read about Vickie. While it has been many, many years (over 40) since I last spent the night at the Piekarz home - I have wonderful memories of Vickie (and all of you)from grammar school, and in them, she was always laughing. Vickie was an important part of my childhood and I will not soon forget her.



My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Tony & Family members



My deepest sympathies to you and your family in this difficult time. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Although I didn't know her, but my daughter told me she was a wonderful person. May your special memories of her comfort you now and bring you many happy moments as you remember everything that made her so special to each of you.

May she rest in peace now.



Love Marge, Rick and Lori

We are both so sorry to hear about your loss of your sister.

God knows better than us the ultimate plan for everyone, even though it seems unfair to us mortals. Certainly she is resting in His arms right now.

Love to all of you,
