Dear Gloria and family,

I was soooo surprised to hear of Tunny's death. I have a lot of fond memories of Colorado Springs on Deleware Drive. We took a lot of road trips out there as a family when I was much younger. We usually stayed at your home, or later with Ricky when he lived out there. I remember that I always loved listening to Tunny's stories, and his laughter with Mom. His sister with a spanish accent!

He will be deeply missed. I am sorry for you tremendous loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God be with all of you.

Dear Gloria and Family,

I'm sorry to hear that Tunny died because I'm next on the list. He beat me again. I miss you all, and I will say a prayer for him.

Gloria and family:

I was so sad to learn of Henry's passing. The two of us shared many stories about raising large families. He was a very kind friend. Know that you all are in my prayers.

Dear Gloria and family,

I was very surprised and saddened to hear of Tunny's passing!! What will Colorado Springs be without Tunny sitting in the kitchen in his chair? We'll all miss him but you guys are going to be without him now. How terrible! But the upside of this is Tunny is not suffering any more and is at peace.

I'm so sorry I didn't take his sisters out to say their proper goodbyes but you can be sure they've all said a few rosaries for him. Like I told Margo, you all are welcome here at my house anytime. So don't be afraid to come and visit. Again, he will be missed by all.

Love your neice and cousin

Dear Aunt Gloria & Family,



We were all so saddened to hear of Uncle Tunny's passing. I will always remember his quick wit and great humor! I know he is probably playing tricks on the angels in heaven. May God's love and all your memories give you peace.



Love, Jayne (Lulu's daughter)

Grandpa Case, It was a great honor to be welcomed into such a loving family. You meant so much to Crystal. I could not think of a better relationship between a grandfather and a granddaughter. Your presence in her life helped turn her into the wonderful woman she is today. We will miss you.
