Mrs. Piotroski,
Your sudden passing so soon after that of your devoted son-in-law George leaves us again greatly saddened and groping for words.

As the last earthly honor so justly dedicated to your life is celebrated today, we want to express our profound gratitute for the exceptional hospitality you always extended us everytime we were in town.

Your homestead was a lovely island of sustainability in many ways and you made it, like your aptly named special twin girls, a joy to visit and a time of great gaiety.

Our heartfelt condolences to your devoted family comes with the prayer that your memory will be a source of inspiration and blessing for all those who had the pleasure of enjoying your good humored company.

Sincerely,
