Dear Kolleda Family,
My husband and I met Mr. and Mrs. Kolleda while attending an Indians game. We were honored to finally meet John’s parents. We have always considered John as a brother and I reached out, called Mrs. Kolleda mom, and gave her a hug. My husband and I pray for comfort for the family. Mrs. Kolleda is an angel and present with the Lord. God’ Blessings,
Sakait and Michelle Baksar

I first met Connie when I was 2 yrs old. My mother sent me with my Grandmother to Cleveland. When my children were old enough we started to go to Cleveland to see the Indians play and we would stop to see my cousin Connie and her family. I miss her and I will never forget her.
