Theresa,Walter,and Bobby..Your mother was very dear to us. It was a privilege for us to get to know your parents better, especially when they lived with you, Theresa and Steve, in Kennesaw. Annie always had a smile on her face and never lost her sense of humor. We will miss her. She was an inspiration to us.
We are sorry for your loss and will pray for your mom, you, and your family.
Theresa and Steve, your family is in our prayers. With our love Bob and Loretta
May God bless you and Walter, you are together again in the presence of God.
Rob-O-Link, My condolences to you on the passing of your Mother. My prayers are with you and your family.
She was an incredibly kind person, who always had a positive attitude. She had a beautiful heart that would never hurt a soul. I am thinking of our conversation from the other day Theresa and I keep picturing her doing cartwheels in heaven. Maybe your Dad is “spotting” her!!! God bless you all and may His peace fill your hearts.
Rob, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Sincerely, Debbie D.
A Saint has gone to gather round the Throne of Jesus! Your mother was so dear and so wonderful to our family over so many years. I always enjoyed her stories, espcially of “way back when” she and my grandmother Mary Zdinak were tin floppers in the Mill at a very young age. Her devotion and prayers were a boon and helpt to me more times than I probably ever realized. On behalf of all of my siblings, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Stas` Tuchalski
Rob, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. Laura Oatney
Rob – I am so sorry for your loss!! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Friends forever!! Karen Daugherty
Dearest Rob, Your beloved mother’s lasting legacy is carried on through the goodness of her children. I am honored to count you as a friend. Your mother’s memory is a benediction indeed! She has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. -Bessie Stanley
I haven’t seen “Ma Kosin” in a long time but I remember her warmth and smile. She, and all of you, are in our thoughts and prayers. Be sure to raise a glass for us in her memory and keep in touch. Love to all. “J”, Kathy, Bill, Robbie, and Max
Dear Theresa, Steve and family, Anna was a great example of love, hospitality, and strength for us all. She raised a family about which to be proud and her legacy will live on through them and the grandchildren. You are ever in our prayers but especially now in this time of loss. May God’s peace, the love of family and friends, and the warm memories of Anna console you. With much love and prayers- John and Irene Bauer
Dear Family, I am sorry I was not able to make it to the funeral. I did want to offer my deepest condolences on the passing of Choici Ann. What a wonderful lady she was. If there was ever a walking saint she was it. I will forever remember her kindness and gentle way. She always worked so hard but constantly had a smile on her face. I am certain that Jesus has embraced her and welcomed her into Heaven with a band and huge celebration! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sadness. Take some consolation in the fact that she, like our other family members, will now be happy for all eternity in the presence of the Father. All our love, Stan, Jill, Jaiden, Seth, Samuel, and Shaleigh
