Dear Wolodzko Family, It is hard to believe 15 years has passed, though I suspect for each of you it feels like yesterday and yet a lifetime. Wishing you continued blessing of joy and peace as you continue to remember and honor Dad. ~Mark (Numbers 6:24-26)

Happy Birthday Dad, love you and missing you everyday xoxo

The Broken Chain

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

Another Christmas has come and gone and still it doesn't feel quite as wonderful as use to. You loved this time of year and because of that, the season had a bit more sparkle and I lot more magic. I think about you every day. You may not be here anymore but your spirit surrounds me. God Bless You, Dad. I love you x x x

I thought of you today, I think of you every day. I wish I could have one more hug. I miss you, Dad. Always will x x x

Dear Pauline and Family, An article that appears in today’s (Memorial Day - - May 25, 2009) Philadelphia Inquirer details Pope Benedict’s prayers and homage during his visit to a Polish Cemetery while on a pilgrimage to the Benedictine Monastery at Monte Cassino, Italy. Admittedly, until Jan's passing, I was wholly unaware of the significance of this battle, the fight in each man, and the sacrifices paid so dearly on the alter of freedom. I truly wish I had come to know Jan better but have...

I'm praying for you on this 2nd anniversary...often on my mind and always in my heart.

To my dear Dad,

I've learned to hold onto the warm, loving memories I have of you and in doing so, the pain of losing you eases just a bit. But today, I can't help but feel that familiar aching in my heart when I remember today is the day you were taken from us. Today I let my defences down and I don't care who knows....I still hurt. I miss you so much. I love you, Dad
