I am saddened to read of Danuta's passing. We worked together in a kindergarten room at the ALL School in Worcester. She was a great worker who often shared her love of baking with us. I think of her every time I cut a round cake! She loved her children, husband and had a deep faith that followed her everywhere she went. I enjoyed working with her and express my deepest condolences to her family.
