Hello Allen. I just read in the News-Herald that your Mom went to heaven. I will say a prayer for her tonight. I know this feeling. My Mom went to heaven when I was 13 years old.
Dan I am so sorry to hear that your mother has passed, but it sounds like she was a wonderful woman and lived a wonderful life. Now she will always watch over all of you!
Mrs. Smitco was a huge influence in my life. I was a close friend of Maria and Wendy and spent a huge chunk of my childhood with the Smitko family. Mrs. Made sure our cups of cool aide were always full and my hair was always combed. You have no idea how this family and the Myers family impacted my life. Thank you. I am truly sorry for your loss.
