Renee, Marilyn and Marlene, I have wonderful memories of your mother! I can remember listening to music in her yellow Ford Maverick as we returned glass pop bottles or going to the “show”, the drive-in theater on Washington St. She was always very kind and made your home so kid friendly that I think I spent more time at your house than I did at mine. Your mom bought you every game or toy ever made and your swimming pool was kid-heaven during those hot summers. Now she is in heaven preparing the house once again. May you find peace in the coming weeks and months. Much love to you all, my dear old friends.
Never again in this earthly world will I be so fortunate to have another Darlene Bialeck. May 15th of 1981 when we married, she changed my life for the better for 35 years. With her loss the pain is almost unbearable, compared to a past history of nothing, being parent less, and raising myself. She gave me so much faith and love I became an Ordained Christian Minister, and on her Birthday, July 27th, 2013, received my Ordination papers. No longer have I the strength of my youth, but once again find myself alone. This hollow emptiness will never be filled until Our Father calls me home again, so I can once again be with the only person I loved in this world. I know not what purpose He has for me here yet, but Pray He takes me every day. The only joy I have left is our 4 cats, Scrappie, Muffy, Musher, and Mr Dickens. And they know also she is gone, and it brings tears to my eyes daily. It all happened so fast my head is still swimming in a void I cant fill. My Darling, know I Pray daily to reclaim you eternally when Christ comes for me, and I can smile and laugh again. Your Loving Husband, Marc
