To The Janowsky Family, My deep sympathy to you! I worked with your Mother at Catholic Charities. Although in a different office, we traveled to Rochester weekly to take a family therapy course together. We continued to meet for lunch many times. Those were unforgettable, golden moments! She was a wonderful, delightful, generous, warm and caring Lady! A true blessing to all who knew her. Surely she continues to pray for each of you! You have a special advocate in heaven!
