Aunt Birdenne. I was so surprised to hear about your passing. You had one heck of a memorial service. I feel so priviledged to have been there. Here I sit in Alaska for the past 3 weeks expecting to see an email from you. May you rest in peace and your family remember all the memories.
Love you Aunt Birdenne

My thoughts and prayers are with the Brozowski family at this time. Please remember, when you feel the smallest breeze pass by you and you realize there's no breeze at all it's your wife/mom/grandma Birdenne gently wrapping her arms around you all and keeping you all safe. Take great pleasure in knowing you all have a beautiful guardian angel to watch over all of you and memories that will last forever!! God Bless

My deepest sympathy to all of you for the loss of such a wonderful lady. Growing up around all of you and our families being so close I have alot of memories of Birdy. I was so sad to hear of her passing. What I remember most about her is that she was always happy and smiling. I hope in the hard days ahead you can all take comfort in knowing that she is watching over all of you from heaven...

Dear Richard , Ricky, Deanna, David, Kurt and Christine;
In this time of grieving, it may be good to pause in some quiet place and let your mind be still. Consider the treasure of memories that you and your loved one created together.
Then, little by little, begin to know, deep in your heart, that the promise of God will someday be fulfilled. You and your loved one will meet again, as surely as day follows night, as sure as spring comes after winter.

Although I never met her, I know your mother was a great person, to have raised a wonderful person like you.
Love Always,
Katy

I wish to express my sincere sympathy to you, the family of Birdenne Brozowski in the loss of your wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, etc. A service at her beloved church is a very fitting send off for such a gracious lady. A lovlier, more purely content, more kind-hearted, more religious, more generous woman the World will never know. She will be sorely missed here on Earth. I take solace in thinking she's up in Heaven working on her puzzle books. She's a woman who lived the life she loved. A self-fulfilled prophecy, if you will...she wanted a large family and to always be surrounded by them. Birdy held court at her kitchen table, bouncing babies, kissing daughters, laughing with husband Rich...this was what she walways wanted. How many people can say they got to live out the life they'd always dreamed of? She was always at the ready for an impromptu game of cards when kids, grandkids and great grandkids stopped by. Her life's blood was her family and her religion...that's all Birdy needed, all she ever asked for. Even in recent years chained to oxygen she did everything she was supposed to do...trying to stay alive for her family. But she knew....To everything there is a Season and a Time and a Reason. She struggled through, a valiant fighter to the end, as the Winter of her life approached, she said her last "I love you" as she walked away with God. The World is a little emptier, a little sadder without this warm, loving lady to grace it, but she'll live on forever in the eyes and smiles of all those beautiful children she and Rich made, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Love from Cindy, Les, Jr. and Jen
