We would like to send our sympthathy for the loss of your mother.
George and I bought your family home in Cudahy on KK ave when your parents moved to Florida. Your parents were the guests of my parents( Andy and Maradean Masarik) and they quickly helped them make the decision to move! They continued to be close friends in Silverlake Community and we would regularly stop in to say hello when visiting my parents just down the street from your parents in the Villages.
Hope that all your memories will keep you happy, your Mom and Dad were such a fun and wonderful couple!
Judy (Masarik) and George Turner

We want to extend our sympathy in the loss of your mom. Renee e-mailed us about her death. We read the obituary article. It sounds like your mom was quite a character. It was a wonderful article of her life. You will always have memories and some good laughs too. She lived to a wonderful age.

I read the JS article about Mrs. Chojnacki and felt drawn to the name. My childhood ('50s) Dr. was Chojnacki and I wondered if it is the same family line. My roots are in Milwaukee's south side, the former St. Helen's parish, and my parent's are in St. Adalbert's Cemetery, where I will rest in peace in the future, as well. Cecilia sounds like the dickens and I can't wipe the smile from my face thinking about her fun, as I write this. Thank you, Cecilia, for making the world a better place, for teaching your offspring how to live full, respectful lives. This tribute to you speaks for itself!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of both of your parents. My husband & I were part of the annual "Polish Open". What fun we all had and Cele was the life of the party. Like I said "many, many fond memories.
