Peter,
I am so sorry! Haven't seen Jenny in a while but do remember her from SHS. We were cheerleaders together. She was always so full of life and happy, a smile on her face. Hard to believe that smile is gone. I will remember Jenny and her family in my prayers.

Genevieve (Genny Markowski)Gardocki,
Still vividly remember Genny from our High School Days...We worked after school together at the Suffield Pharmacy where you'd catch Genny thinking and chewing straws...She hooked me on chewing the darn straws because it was habit forming...Loved to kid with her as she was so perky and fun to be around....Can't believe a lifetime has passed because I can still hear her soft voice as if it were, Yesterday...She was loved by all and we'll miss her, terribly....We will always love Genny for the Sunshine she brought us....

I shall miss you, Genny, my friend since high school!
I will always remember our cheerleading days and our wonderful trip to Hampton Beach in your little black and yellow Metropolitan in the summer of 1958 after graduation.
Dottie
Godspeed!

My deepest condolences to Norm and the entire family. My fondest childhood memories are of Mrs Gardocki and the family. She was my mom's very best friend and we had so much fun going there. I will always remember her as a generous kind person who was such fun to talk to. She faced such grief in her life, yet always perseverved. I will always be grateful for having her in my life. And I will always remember her. Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched.
