To this day, I feel their love all the time; they are supportive in all our decisions and still very family-oriented. Mom and Dad would do anything for anyone. They both have hearts of gold and much love to spread. Not only are they wonderful, devoted parents to my sister and I, but awesome grandparents to Jennifer, Katie, Ashley, Zachary, and Brittany in heaven, a wonderful aunt and uncle to Kathy, Jessica, Paulie, Walter, Chris and Maureen, loving in-laws to Phil and Mark, great friends to many, but also our best friends. We would not be where we are today without the guidance and devoted love of our parents, William and Mary Alice Kneisel also known as Mommy and Daddy.
