Dear Knapp Family, please accept my sympathies for your loss and especially say hello to my dear friend and St Charles classmate Don Knapp.
I still remember vididly when Don invited me to dinner at the Knapp's in Bexley and we had lentil soup and I had no idea what it was...we all laughed when I said I had never heard of it. LOL!!! God takes over from here and one day soon we will all be united again in the great hereafter. God will bless his soul I am certain!!!

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. It is so hard to have both your mom and dad go in less one year. Just know they are together now.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers and my heart is breaking for you.
Ron and I loved both your parents and Herman was so supportive during the time Ron was sick and I will never forget that. He was always so positive and funny, I always love to talking to him. He will be missed very much by all that knew him.

Dear Shelli, Lynna and Michael,
I'm heartbroken for you over the illness and passing of your wonderful parents. They were so kind and helpful to me during painful times in my life and I'm so grateful to them. It's been some comfort getting to know Patti and sharing with her. They were such special people and I will miss them so much.
Love,
Dorothy Falcinella
p.s. I reread your mother's wonderful letters a lot and am inspired by them.
