To The Lang Family: It is with a heavy heart and sadness to let go of your sweet loving Mom/Nonna. Who could ever imagine that when I was just 10 years old moving next door to your family in The Grove, that a special bond of love and friendship would last over 55 years. My late parents (Paul & Charlene Rose) were the best of friends with your Mom and Bud. The fun times and laughter that our two families have shared together will remain close to my heart forever. Your Mom and I shared the same birthday (September 19) and for all 55 years we have never missed celebrating our birthdays together ! Your Mom’s favorite part of lunch always was the birthday dessert given to us . Whatever in my life or my children your parents were always there to celebrate the occasion. How bless God was to me to have given Me a second set of parents to Love ! “Friends Are The Family We Choose For Ourselves”. What a joyous celebration for your Mom to be with her Frank again and my parents. With that thought I am at Peace knowing the 4 Buddies are once again laughing and sharing their bond of friendship together again . Thanks “Lang Gang”. For all the memories and being a part of your beautiful loving Family. This is not Goodbye to my birthday Buddy , it’s see you later my sweet Bea Ann . May God hold your family in the palm of his hand during this most sad time. Love & Prayers Forever , Kim (Rose) Koenig
