    Dear Cogswell Family – So sorry for your loss. Jerry was a tremendous man and I just loved to be in his presence. He and his wonderful wife were so lovely together. I loved to see the love between them. My husband Jody will be there for the ceremony to welcome Jerry into Paradise. I will be there in spirit. May all the memories provide you peace and your faith provide comfort. He is a man that will be missed. God rest his soul. -Kris Rusnak

    Michael and Jessica: I am sorry to hear of the death of your father and father-in-law. I remember your father well from your wedding. I will remember him at Mass this weekend, and pray that God hold you all close.
