Rest in peace Mel, and to the family my sincere condolences – I have fond memories of our childhood, and feel sad for the loss of my cousin.
Dear Kathy and Tommy, So sorry to hear about your dad. I have known him for many years now. Even though we have not seen each other for quite some time. When we did run into each other it was always nice chatting with him. He was a great guy. I hope for the both of you, knowing he’s in a better place now and that he will live on through both of you, will help with some of your sorrow and pain. Life goes on but he will live on many memories. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sorry I was unable to attend the wake or funeral do to my work. Sincerely, Mikki Blazak
