JUSTYNA PALKA Obituary

Justyna Malgorzata Palka. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunset on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die. Justyna Malgorzata Palka, loving daughter of Malgorzata Palka and Ludwik Palka; precious sister of Sebastian and Tomasz Palka; beloved aunt of Aaliyah and Leeona Palka. Visitation Thursday, May 12 at River East Art Center, 435 E. Illinois St., Chicago, 60611 from 3 to 8 p.m. Visitation Friday, May 13, 9 to 11 a.m. with Funeral Mass following at Holy Name Cathedral, 735 N. State St., Chicago, 60611. In lieu of flowers, donations in Justyna's name may be made to Catholic Charities Refugee Program, 721 N. LaSalle St., 4th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654-9965.

My deepest sympathies and prayer go out to
all of you, her family and friends.
Kind-hearted, brilliant, talented and generous,
Justyna was one of the most
remarkable young women that I have ever met.
While I only knew her a short while,I will
always cherish her friendship. Her enthusiasm
and joy were inspirational and will be missed by
all who knew her.

Maddie and Simon will always have her in their hearts, as will I. She filled our lives with creativity, love, compassion and laughter. We miss her dearly. To her family: She loved you all so much and would talk about her nieces all the time. Our prayers are with you all. She is an Angel.

During a time like this many are at a loss for words to express our condolences to very special people we love. What can we say to bring you comfort, how do we say that we care and understand your pain? In your hearts it will be the little things like Justyna's smile, or the way she and her brothers would always tease one another and of course, most of all, her laugh. That adorable laugh and pretty smile. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be these memories that will help you get through the day and bring a smile. For that is what she would have wanted. So just look in your heart and Justyna will be there. For someone so special as she, can never be forgotten. We love you.

My thoughts are with you Dan and the whole family. Such a wonderful group and this just not seem fair or right. Hard to understand the 'why' of it. We wish you peace.

Justyna was a beautiful person. She had such a big heart. To the Palka family; I am so sorry for your loss.

No one deserves this kind of tragedy. I am so sorry that it happened. This hits so close to home because I live in the same building as Justyna and have walked that street so many, many times. I am so very sorry for your loss.

“I can’t imagine what you are going through.” The fact is you can’t know the depth of someone else’s pain, grief or sense of loss. The sudden death of a loved one is so hard to bear because it’s such a shock to the mourners. There is no time to prepare, to deal with unfinished business or to say goodbye.
