Josh and Family,

Your mom is the sweetest and warmest person. During your wedding we had the greatest conversation about love and family. I enjoyed her company so much and she will hold a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences, may the fond memories bring brighter days.

Dear Family of Ileen,

Kenny was my older cousin (first cousin to my dad, Phil Falk). I have many happy memories from my childhood of him playing with me and later being together when he and Ileen connected. Sending you all condolences for your loss. May you find comfort and peace with each other and in your memories.
