Bazyk Family: I've been thinking about the year I lived in Arkansas quite a bit lately. So sorry to see your father passed away. Leonard & Patricia were the nicest in-laws anyone could ever have had.
It was a blessing for me to know Mr. Bazyk. I am sorry for your loss. He was one of the nicest and entertaining people I have had the pleasure of getting to know.
Dear family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My thoughts & prayers are with you all during this time. Love in Christ, Deena
It was such a gift to know him and Pat. What a wonderful family and some of the most loving people I have ever met. Heaven is much more interesting now and I am sure everyone will hear the story of "the pink dress". I am sure there was a precious reunion there on Monday. God Bless.. Prayers for your family in this difficult time. He loved those Bazyk Boys...
Love,
Stephanie Lindley
