Condolences from the Horvath family – Norma & John, David, Danny & Diane. Between scouting, schooling, church and Woodlawn Estates activities, we saw a lot of your Mom & Dad. They are good people. May they rest in peace.
My condolences Bill. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Dear Vrtar Family, As a girl that grew up on Woodlawn Estates with my twin sister, Judy, I remember the Vrtar family well. I think our Mom’s actually were in card club together. It is sad how many of our parents are gone now ~~~ I hope you take great comfort in knowing that your Mom and Dad and brother are now reunited till the day that we will all be together again. Until then be well and enjoy life to the fullest. With deepest sympathy and prayers, Mike and Janice (Nichols) Petrovich
