Those of us who are friends and follow your writing have gotten to know all about that strength of your parents love as well as their values and the depth of their character. Through you and your words we've gotten to know them and we're all a little better for that. Hold on to those memories and find strength in their love.Kevin Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703125974467675009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-2491531313379654672011-05-15T13:49:20.796-04:002011-05-15T13:49:20.796-04:00Kate, you honored your parents in a most loving wa...Kate, you honored your parents in a most loving way. Their legacy as loving, generous, just plain good people will live through the years. You and your sister and brothers carry on that way of life and thinking and continue to pass it on to your children and to all those blessed to have experienced the "Pilarcik way." Franny and Paul must indeed be happy and proud. They truly had a "good life" in the full depth and breath meaning of that expression. Their love is eternal.Matthew S.
