Sorry to hear about your mothers passing. I have found memories of her. I lived across the alley from your back yard where as I recall your dad raised homing pigeons. Stanley, Chester and I use to walk to Cassidy school together. I moved to Ankeny in the third grade and have often thought of you boys. Your in my prayers.

My heartfelt condolences to your family. I have been away from Des Moines for a long time, but I fondly recall those years with the Procyks. I met Tillie at Younkers Tea Room since we both spoke Polish and I found a second family with her while I was away from mine. She was truly a special woman and I know her family will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sadden to hear of your family's loss. I haven't seen Tillie in many years but recall her from her Younkers Tea Room days. She was a gem!
