Nice to see Father Doug is doing the mass. His brother Gary Dushack is my godfather. MY Dad, Ken Renz (who has passed 2/5/ 2013) has been close friends with the Dushack family. In the 60's our families would get together at Glen & Edie's house. Us kids had lots of fun there. - So sorry to hear about the loss of this family member. Our loved ones are always with us , in our hearts & In our prayers.

I'm sorry to say I never met Elinor Dushack but in a small way I have seen her in her granddaughter Susan Viken. Susan spoke of her grandmother many times over the years we worked together, as Susan said Tuesday, her grandmother is in a better place. May God bless and keep each of you.

Dear Dusi & family, may God hold you in His loving arms during this sad time and bless you with peace. I hope you are comforted by many happy memories and knowing that you made Elinor's life so special just by being you! I think she knows just how much she was loved by her family. God Bless the Dushacks......

Sweet Elinor, We had so much fun at your farm - both inside & out! You always had peanut butter sandwiches, and a jar of various chewing gum: CLOVE - BLACK JACK - BEEMAN'S - BAZOOKA & FRUIT STRIPE...upstairs in the old house was filled with play clothes: formals & high heels...outside we had the horses, the woods, the pond & the memorable hay barn...You always had time to play with us - like being the pitcher for Dushack-Renz softball games... Thank you for making so many warm memories, & never forgetting my BD and Christmas cards, even just a month ago. I will never forget you telling me "The first 60 years are the hardest"... Thank our Lord that you got to stay in your cozy home & have the best 6 daughter care-takers so you did not have to leave the farm. Heaven now has a new Angel & I know you are surrounded by your family members, pretty birds, & beautiful irises. I love you to HEAVEN & back! God Bless always, Susan Mary
