I bought a painting of your Mothers in 1969 in Pgh,Pa. "The Mother of Moses: In Among the Reeds a Lily Grew". I have charished the painting and have always wondered what happened to Alice Wadowski. When I bought it she was doing publicity art for Bergdorf Goodmans in NYC. I looked her up on my computer last week and discovered she had died. I want you two to know that her art was a great solice to me for many years. You were lucky to have her inspiration as you were growing up. Sincerely Helen Breed

Alice was a wonderful person who always had a smile and kind word for everyone. I will cherish the personalized poster she gave me of her famous painting of Niagara Falls. When I look at the poster on the wall in my office, I will think of Alice and all that she meant to her family and the children of the Niagara Falls School District. May she rest in peace.

Dear Greg and Ken,
My thoughts and prayers are with you now. Your mother was one of the greatest artists of the Niagara Frontier. Although she will no longer be with us, her art will live forever.

I had the fine pleasure of working with your mother. Her enthusiasm and zest for life was always evident in her smile. I thoughly enjoyed hearing her life stories. One year she gave me the beautifully designed OPATEK cover she was commisioned to paint. I still have the cover and every Christmas Eve I think of her. Your mother was an amazing woman who always spoke so proudly of her boys. May God be with you as your mother is with Him.

Dear Ken & Greg~
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of your Mom. It was my pleasure to take some classes from her through the Niagara Council of the Arts. She was a delightful and talented woman who keep her ethnic traditions alive. You may remember me from Old Fort Niagara.

I worked with Alice for quite a few years. She was a great pleasure to talk to and hear her many life stories. I thoroughly enjoyed Alice and was greatly saddened at reading of her passing. Take comfort that she may be absent from the body but she is present with her Lord.

It is with a heavy heart and sadness that I express my sympathy at the loss of a colleague, a mentor and a friend, Alice Bak - a gifted artist, a skillful counselor and the mother of two sons whom she adored. However, let it be known that it was her grandaughter, Natalie, who stole her heart! My sincere condolences to the Bak family. Alice will be sadly missed by all who loved her.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

Dear Sons:
Please accept my expression of sympathy. I worked with your mother for a number of years, and it was a privilege to know her. She was an accomplished woman but her greatest achievement was her sons. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.
