Helen "Bernie" Mackowiak

Dear Uncle John, Father Bill, Pauline, David and Robyn, I am so very sorry about the loss of dear Aunt Helen. We all loved her very much and will miss her. God bless all of you, Claire

Although we only met your mother once, she gave our parish a wonderful gift. When you came to Sts. Peter and Paul in Beaver, Monsignor, we knew that you had stepped into some very big shoes, indeed, as you took over from our beloved Monsignor Schultz. Your family has shared you with literally thousands of people who have been influenced by you and your ministry. God blessed us when you came into our lives. We are grateful to your parents, and most especially, to your dear mother, for her gift...

Dear Robyn & Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of your loss. I think of you and your family often as I pass your old house where I spent many hours as a little girl. I'll always treasure my fond memories of our childhood days...

Dear Aunt Helen -

We love you and pray for you and our family in this time of need. Your love and support, felt by many, will always be in our hearts. May god protect you in your final resting place.

Love,
Matthew Lehman Mackowiak

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Helen (or Aunt Bern as we used to call her). My wife and I lived next door to her and John for many years. She loved life and she loved to laugh.
She was an inspiration and a joy to be around. She will be deeply missed.

We share your grief at the loss of our darling Aunt Helen, who was very dear to us and will never be forgotten. Larry and I are so sorry that we could not be with you, but we are thinking of all of you and keeping you in our prayers. Much love to all and may God bless you,
Larry, Georgia, Matt and Claire
