Marilyn and family...I remember how gracious she was to me back in our CTK days when I would be at your house! I understand how difficult this time is for you, as my Mom just met Our Lord in March. My sympathy and prayers are with you.

My condolences to the Kubiak family. The death of a loved one isn't easy. Our heavenly Father has promise that death is to be brought to nothing. That mean it will be abolished forever. What a happy time that will be. May the family cherish the fond memories during this difficult time.

I knew Evarista during my years as Organist/Music Director at Christ the King. She was a wonderful person, and was such a help to me during those years.

Dear Marilyn and Delores,
My family and I are saddened by the loss of your dear mom. Evarista was a special person. We were introduced by her friend John Kaminski in 1975, and remained true friends ever since. Cherished memories I will hold, especially the ones at the Polish Home. She loved dressing up in costume for our many Polish events and greeted the guest as they arrived. Her presence will be greatly missed and also her many years of leadership as the president of Polish National Alliance Kosciuszko lodge 165.
