It is very sad news to hear of the passing of Sabina Jervis. She was always so full of life and love and quick wit.I will always remember the time that Sabina saw me riding a bicycle and called me into her house for a slice of home made blueberry pie and a glass of cold milk. ALL my sympathy to you Bill and your family.

From Vickie Wesolowski: We were very good friends during Sabina's stay at the Mystic River Congregate in Noank; She and I had many an enjoyable supper together. I was able to brush up on my Polish. I miss her dearly.

Bill and family, I have fond memories of your mother (and father) when my parents were alive. My mother loved her wit and wonderful ways. I had the pleasure of meeting your Melanie years later at Filenes Fine Jewelry. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Dearest Aunt Sabina:
You were kind, generous, and hilarious. I shall treasure the memories growing up of "The Sisters," which included my Mother, making me laugh until I cried. From wearing fancy hats at Easter, to whipping up curtains for my room, you did it all with joy.

I spent a year with Sabina. She shared wonderful stories with me. We shared a Polish heritage and love of painting. I will miss her but I know she has finally gotten her wish to be with her sisters, mother, and husband. God bless her.
