Eric and Brianna, 
I never met you but I was on the Molczan side of the family – and yes – our family was a very dysfunctional one.  Your mom and I got back in touch in our later years and boy did we make up for lost time.  She was a great person and one of the few people that truly accepted you WITHOUT conditions.  I think of you mom and dad often – they were truly great people and will be missed dearly.  Love, Michele (Missy)

Eric, Brianna and Punch, 
There’s no one like this lady, she was truly a one of a kind person who lit up wherever she was with humor and sarcasm second to none. Our ‘River Family’ will not be the same without her and Mark. Never will they be forgotten, but loved and missed every day.

Eric and Brianna,I’m very saddened to hear of your mother’s passing.  I just couldn’t believe it when I saw the post on FB today.  Please know that you two and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Your mother was a character and lots of fun.  I always enjoyed kidding around with her!  My heart goes out to you.  Hugs to you both.

Kathy is my first cousin. Over the years of our youth she was there for many family events and I remember her cheerfulness and friendliness. I know her family has great strength but I also know that the saddness this evokes can be tough. Staying close and remember those happy times won’t lessen the loss, but it will bring a smile along with a tear.
