    My daughters and I are very sorry to learn of Ms. Kuzio passing. She was their first grade teacher showing them such warmth, kindness and compassion. We hold many fond memories of Ms. Kuzio and will miss her beautiful voice at church. Our condolences to her family and friends.

    My love and prayers to the Kuzio Family. Rachel and I went to St. Michael School together and sang in St. Michael Church Choir. She was a dear friend. I will treasure the memories of our time together. I know she will be singing with the heavenly choirs of angels. I'm sure she would remember this from one of our favorite choir songs: "May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall soft upon your heels and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand." ��

    Ms Kuzio was such a wonderful and peaceful presence at St. Elizabeth. She touched so many little ones with her care and compassion. She also touched their parents with her gentleness and encouragement. She was a true gift to our St. Elizabeth family. May she rest is well-deserved peace. She was indeed a "true and faithful servant". We are very sorry we were unable to pay our final respects in person, but she has been in our prayers.

    Rachel, JoAnn and Pat....we were the three Musketeers. Oh the adventures and good times we had 44+ years ago. She has always and will always hold a solid spot in my heart. Sheâ??s at peace and free of pain and in the loving arms of the Savior. Thank you for so many wonderful memories, dear Rae

    My Best Friend of 49 years - a wonderful, compassionate, loving and kind person that we all new her to be. I'll always treasure the memories and times we had together as you were like a sister to me. May the choirs of angels hold you in the palm of their hands as God welcomes you into the heavens above with peace and love as you suffer no more. Our love and prayers to the Kuzio family and friends of St. E 's. Jo Ann & Phil (Levdansky) Codelka

    Rachel was like an aunt to me and I will forever remember her kindness, warm laughter and open home. Wishing her and her family peace and love.

    My condolences are with the family and friends. Losing a loved one is a heart-breaking experience and we often donâ??t know how to deal with such great loss. But the scripture recorded at Revelation 21:4 tells us that one day, God himself â??will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry not pain be anymore...â?? This scripture gives us something to look forward to, a time where we will no longer lose loved ones. And for the ones we have lost, we have hope as recorded in John 5:28,29 where it tells us there will be a resurrection. The family and friends of Rachel Kuzio are in my thoughts and prayers. Condolences, Rachel B.
