Bev & Family, please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear Mom. She and your Dad where always one of my very favorite couples in the Berg. They were both always the first to volunteer for any needed task. They were kind & friendly to everyone & I know they were proud of their kids & grandkids. I am sure your Dad was right there to welcome her home in heaven. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Zalewski Family.
Kenny, we were grade school classmates and I've known your family for most of my life, but I treasure the moments that my husband and I spent interacting with your parents throughout much of my adult life at IHM. They were a really great couple. Dorothy was a very special lady who was always willing to help with a genuine smile and happy heart. She will be greatly missed!

My heartfelt condolences to the Zalewski Family. It was a blessing to have met Dorothy, I will always remember the moments I shared with her even for just a short period of time. She has lightened up my days with her loving smiles, funny jokes and warm embraces, and for that I will always keep her in my heart and prayers. I love you Dorothy, may you rest in peace and God be with you eternally.

I went to school with Joanne. Mr. and Mrs. Zalewski were always the nicest and kindest people!
I saw Dorothy when she was visiting her sister, Rita, at Marymount Place. She was STILL nice; friendly and a pleasure to talk to.
I will always remember Mrs. Dorothy in a positive way.
Sincerely, Anne Warner Stevens

She always had a smile on her face. It was always nice seeing her when I visited my Busia next door to her moms on E66th st. God bless you Kenny and your entire family. You had great parents.
