A lovely, lovely kind woman with a spark, zest for life and a wicked sense of humor. You will be missed by the residents at Huntington Point on the Potomac (Bridgeyard).

I had the privilege of sometimes bringing Holy Communion to Mrs. Kowalik on Sundays . She seemed genuinely happy to see me and shared many interesting stories from her past with me and lovely Dora. She had a terrific sense of humor and always made me laugh. I always told her how youthful she was and was saddened and surprised to hear of her death. She was very reverend when receiving Communion . I will miss our visits . May she rest in peace .
