Steve and Family, We are very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. May all your happy memories together as a family help you get through these hard times. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
I enjoyed visiting with Mary when she came to Steve’s house. She made excellent pierogis. She was so friendly and engaging to talk with when I came to the funeral home for Anthony.

To the extended Perhacs family: My dad’s sister, Ann Troia, informed us of Mary’s passing. I, my wife and daughter visited her in 2000 while we were in the area. She welcomed us graciously. Mary was my godmother (June 8, 1947-her birthday). Please accept my condolences. Jim
Dear Cindy and Family, Our condolences on the loss of your mother. At the same time I am fondly reminded of Anthony and the losses we are forced to face in this life. Our continued admiration and respect to you and your family.
