Thinking of you all during this tough time. Thoughts and Prayers to the Yurkovich Family
Lorene and I began our friendship when I joined her at Immaculate Conception in Willoughby as her 6th grade teaching partner. We were together for 10 years. Changes were made so we weren’t partners anymore but still worked together at the Junior High level for another 13 years. We enjoyed many students coming through our doors, had many laughs, and made countless memories. Cheers to many years of friendship. I am glad my friend that you are at peace. God bless and keep you and your family. Love, Sandee Koehler
With much love and fond remembrance of a dear family friend. We'll miss you.
With deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
“Lorene Yurkovich” will remain in our hearts forever.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
What a super-great lady. So sorry Frank and family. Will keep you all in my daily prayers. Tom Hupertz
