Mrs. Malinski, Lori and family,
I am so truly sorry about your loss. Growing up in the St. Hy parish, I remember Mr. Malinski getting my mother involved in organizing banquets, etc. He even attended my mom's memorial service back in '99. My deepest condolences to the entire family. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs,
