“Tom and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the family. Your Dad, brother, grandpa and great-grandpa will be missed. Cherish the memories of family gatherings. It's easy to lose contact with cousins as we go about our daily lives. We would talk occasionally through the years. I'm sorry we will miss his memorial today. Judy (Butkowski) Lewandowski”
