EILEEN SOTAK

My Aunt Eileen was so warm and generous. I loved her passion for family and learning the history of our heritage.

She loved puzzles, genealogy, and celebrating our Slavic roots, always keeping history and connection alive. She had a passion for fine food too-and every time I eat quiche I´m taken back to childhood in Cleveland, when she and Grandma Sotak made me feel special and she exposed me...
