Andrea and Mark,
Oh the memories Bobby brought to our families. The beautiful food and music for our holidays, Serbian and American, stay in our minds. Bobby singing, while carving the lamb or beef linger. We will always be connected through our parents Andrea. You are our sister and we love you. Bobby and Martha were truly what Kumovi are supposed to be. They are peaceful now. We were truly blessed to have them be such a huge part of our lives both as children and adults. They enriched our lives with love.
All our love,
Laurie and Peter and families
Dear family,
It is so sad to read that Mr. Dodasovich has passed away. May your memories of him as well as a hope of being reunited one day – John 5:28,29 – bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
Dear Andrea
God Bless you and your family. Such a very sad time now that both Dad and Mom are gone. I was sorry to read too about dear Cynthia.
We have such wonderful memories of your Mom and Dad. They were always such a valuable part of our lives at home and even when we moved to Florida. Now the miles separate us all so much. We are surely sorry we cannot be with you during this truly sad time, but you must know you are in our hearts and prayers. I lit a candle too.
Staying out of harms way is not a concern of yours now, you have gone to a better place. Thank you, to your family, (Andrea and Martha) for being such a big part of our family. You’ve helped ours through very hard times on several different occasions we will never forget you! God bless yoy, Bobby
