Dear Debbie,
Although I didn't know your husband, I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Joe Lynch was thoughtful to notify a lot of your former co-workers at SL Q-town. I didn't realize you had all this going on in your life. I cherish our time together at SLQ-town and regarded you as a true friend and that is why it just makes me sad to know that you and your family are grieving. You are a woman of God, so He will continue to guide you through this difficult time. I will remember you and your family at Mass on Ascension Thursday. God be with you.
Your friend,
Cathy Zanghi

Dear Debbie and boys,
God has brought our two families together and God will keep us close in the days ahead as we face our children's marriage and our two families will be united forever. HE will give us the strength to celebrate Andrea and Chris's love with smiles on our faces and love in our hearts. And Gene will be smiling down at all of us and he'll be Right there with us through the whole celebration! Take it from someone who's been through this! They are gone from our sight, but not from our hearts or our souls! We are so grateful to have come to known your whole family and the love you show to all those who know you! You are truly an inspiration to all! God be with you and yours!

Dear Mrs. Martin and Family,
I am Harry Buss's nephew and a friend of Bob Kudera. I knew Gene to say hello, but heard many good things about him from Uncle Harry and Bob. They considered him a great friend and a truly good person.
My wife and I would like you to know that we are remembering you in our prayers at this difficult time and pray that God will give you His peace.
Sincerely,
Dan and Patti Simon
