October 5, 2018 at 10:46 pmMy condolences and God’s peace be with all of you during this difficult time. This is Pat’s friend Frank, Bridgette in case you’re wondering who Frank Rudock is from Castle Shannon. Coincidentally many many decades ago Saint Norbert was my other rudock Parish dad’s twin brother who lived on mullooly Street in Overbrook right by Church. Dr. Al rudock is like 63 years old now and sister Chrissy around 62 don’t know if there’s any connection. Parishioners or not God says we are all his children so he lost one of his own and we all must grieve only temporarily because God says he has prepared places for all of us, This Is Why We Believe

October 6, 2018 at 12:07 amMy great uncle, Lance Freund, will always be remembered in my heart and in the hearts of his family and friends. Every time my family and I visited Pittsburgh, Lance would welcome us, along with the other Freunds. He had a fun sense of humor and a great voice and laugh. I once helped him pull weeds outside the house. He said I didn’t have to help, but I wanted to. He once told me his favorite color was teal, or a close to teal color. He was encouraging towards my creative pursuits, and he was someone whom I’ve admired. I pray for Lance, and I pray for comfort, for all of our family and friends, especially those closest to him who are missing him dearly.

The former things have passed away.” Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
