  1. Candle Selection 5Sympathy to the Molchan Family. As a little girl, living on 10th Street, Mrs. Molchan would always play hide-in-seek with me and my sister. She a a lovely neighbor to our family. Rest in Peace. (Paluch/Ruszkowski Family.)

  2. Candle Selection 5Pauline,
    It is with great sadness that I learned from my brother today, of the passing of your sister, Irene. A flood of memories goes back to living on 10th Street and watching you and Irene always working in the yard, keeping it so immaculate, your father visiting with my grandfather, and your mother sharing a bag of delicious home-made donuts with us! Wonderful memories. Hugs and much love to you and your family. I’m sure that Irene is happy in heaven with God now.

    With much love from “the Grecos”.

  3. Pauline and all you Decker boys – it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you guys. I ran into Pauline last year & we had a nice quick visit (Ha!). I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I’ll pray for healing.

  4. Candle Selection 8Pauline, I want to extend my sincerest sympathy to you and your family. It was my privilege to take care of Irene at Golden Oaks while also getting to know her better. She was special to me and I will remember her fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Nurse Nancy
