Aunt Ann and Uncle Walter – As one of your many nieces, I, as a child, remember spending a few weeks with the two of you one summer. What a great time I had! The two of you made me feel so “special!” I must have been about 8 or 9 years old. I remember noticing the love that the two of you had for each other and the smile that you always had on your face. When you visited us at Gram (Frances) and Pap’s house in New Castle, you would always give us kids money, maybe a 5 dollar bill or something and boy… we felt so rich (just another way you made us feel special)!!! My memories of the two of you are very fond and happy ones. Thank you for making those memories with me. I will cherish them always. Aunt Ann, my prayers are with you and Uncle Walter, you will be truly missed. My deepest sympathy, Gerri Beth Guzman

To Bob: I was sorry to hear about your father. He and your mom were always very nice to all of us. The last time I saw you mom and dad was at my father’s funeral in July 1999. I, along with my wife (Chris), sat with them at the lunch and we enjoyed their company. I’ll always remember him as a kind man, full of good humor and with a gift for making the friends of his children feel welcome in his home. With Sympathy, Joe Wojcik
