Carol, Brian & all the Veith family members. We extend our deepest sympathy to you. As former neighbors and friends of your Dad and Mom , we always enjoyed their company. We met them years ago as your Dad started our neighborhood rosary group. We prayed the rosary every Wednesday night year round for years and years. Our favorite outing with them was to The Bohemian Crystal restaurant in Westmont. You can be sure your Dad is with your Mom and very happy with Our Lord. God bless all of you. Tom and Joan Kukla
