Kathy, Mark & David, so sorry to learn of the passing of both of your parents. I know there is a big welcoming party in Heaven for the arrival of them, amongst those parents and cousins that have gone before them. John Matous, Jr.

Dad, it's hard to put into words but thank you for your guidance through life. Many years later I can see the wisdom in your words and actions that I didn't understand then. While some memories may fade, i will always remember and cherish the time we spent fishing or bowling and working in your shop on projects needed for class the next day. Love you and hope you and mom are polkaing.

I promise Mrs. Chesnick that I would take of you and I kept my promise to her. I will miss you deeply. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Miss seeing that face that makes me smile every day. My last words to you was I love you and you told me love me too. Thank you for allowing me to care of him.
