    Dearest John and Chuck, I haven't seen you in so, so long and I'm beyond sorry that I am not able to be with you at this time, but just know that you both are amazing men, and have been blessed having been born into and married into one of the finest families ever to exist. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I've known you forever it seems, and I was always so honored to be welcome by your family. From Mr. and Mrs. Szot, to Helen and Claudia, your family made my world a much more beautiful place being able to reflect upon all the joy you and yours have shared with me. You have my most heartfelt, sincere condolences at this time, I promise you. Please rest assured knowing that it is not goodbye forever, but just so long for now until we are all reunited in our everlasting life. We all share in the same beautiful mystery of our faith, and I am confident the souls of each and every one of your dearly departed will live on in your hearts forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. I am here for you always, I give you my word. I will forever keep you in my prayers. All my love....❤️💐🕯️🙏🏻 Sincerely, Kenneth D. O'Hearn
