Anna, your Dad adored you. We had so much fun at breakfast the day of your graduation with your Dad making jokes and sharing joy. Your Dad loves Jesus and is with Him praying for you. My prayers go out for you. May God truly comfort your heart.

Sweet Anna, you’re like a daughter to Matt & I and our hearts break for you. We had the pleasure of meeting your dad at your graduation and what an amazing day that was! We had the pleasure of hanging out with your dad all day and as a parent I know the pride and love he had for you. You could see it in everything he said and did. His love for you was overwhelming.

We love you & are here for you always for anything you may need.

I never got the honor to meet Richard "Dubs" (and as I soon learned Rick Panky) but I was given the opportunity to meet his daughter who quickly into college became one of my best friends. Anna is so dedicated, strong, kind, goofy, and a genuine ball of sunshine. All of these qualities I know she got from Dubs. I know she will carry on his legacy with pride. Dubs was so proud of his daughter and even though he has passed, she will continue to make him proud every day.

I had the honor of meeting Richard "Dubs" Pankiewicz when he stayed with Anna and I for the week leading up to Anna's graduation. I don't think he stopped smiling the entire time he stayed with us. It was a pleasure to know him, and my heart goes out to Anna during these times. Anna, I got to witness the pride in his eyes as you walked across the stage at graduation, and you can take some solace in knowing that you made him so proud to see you turn out so amazing. I am so sorry for your loss.

Richard or “Dubs” as he will always be known to me was the brightest light in life of his daughter, and one of my closest friends, Anna. From meeting him over FaceTime as a college freshman to finally meeting him in person at graduation, he was the funniest and kindest soul. I know he is so proud of his daughter and I am so proud to be her friend.
