We take a look back at a packed week of news.
Heartache and inspiration. In other words, Orland Park Patch's fourth week. Zak and Sarah Kustok showed an immeasurable amount of strength and concern for those around them while mourning their mother Anita "Jeanie" Kustok this week, at a visitation held Wednesday and a memorial Mass on Thursday.
