Dear Ellen, Gail, Gary, and Carol,
I was recently made aware of your parents' passing and am heartbroken for your loss. Your dad was kindhearted and calm, your mother was feisty and energetic. They were a wonderful pair. Their love for one another and their children was always apparent. I am glad to have known them. Wishing you all peace and blessings.

My Dad gave his children the greatest gift--showing the way to Jesus. That legacy lives on in his children, and, now, my children. The Lord was in my Dad's life. And, I thank the Lord my Dad was in mine. Your loving son, Gary
Don, rest in peace and know that you will be missed. You were a caring loving person always concerned about your family, especially Lillian. Your first question when we visited was always, "how is she doing, is she happy?" The next was "when can I see her?" Even in your disappointment you put others first. We had some great discussions on the patio about potty humor and shared some wonderful laughs. Your curiosity about things was never quenched. Especially when it came to Ellen's lack of lipstick. Your presence in us will be everlasting.
What a great guy. We have so many happy memories growing up as neighbors. Our parents were the best of friends and that was a gift to us because all of us were friends too. I know my parents were waiting for Don when he got to heaven. You were wonderful to him and he was blessed to have you as his children. We are so sorry and you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. I have so many memories when I think of Don I remember him coming over to swim laps in the pool and he was always kind I never saw him mad. He will always be in your hearts. We love you Stere Family and we're always here for you all those years we were always together. Thanks for the memories and thanks for sharing your great DAD with us. We love you, Colleen, Marreen, Shareen and Families...and MOM AND DAD "The Mahoney's"
Dear Dad, you were such a dear father, you taught me to swim, ride a bike, drive a car, dance the waltz, and many other life lessons. I will miss your smile, your good nature, and your ever optimistic views of life. Even though you could not do the things you loved over the last few years because you were wheelchair bound and had a restricted diet, it never destroyed your spirit of living each moment to the fullest. You were and still are a remarkable man, husband, and father. I will miss seeing you, but my fond memories of you will stay with me all my life.... Your loving daughter Ellen
