I am saddened to hear of the passing of the Maestro's beloved wife. I have had the honor to hear him over the decades as a conductor and most recently in Boston when he guest conducted the NEC Orchestra in the finest series of concerts I have ever been privileged to hear.
Madame Skrowaczewski was clearly as remarkable as her husband and I only wish that I could have met them both personally.
My sincerest condolences are offered to the Maestro and his family.

The Skrowaczewski Family:
My father and I were deeply saddened
when we read of Krystyna's death. She
brought air packages and sea packages to us for many years to send to her relatives and friends in Poland. She
graciously gave us extra concert tickets when the Maestro was in town
conducting the Minnesota Orchestra. She was a beautiful person with an extraordinary passion for life. She will be missed.
Deepest sympathy,
Pawel and...

I didn't know Krystyna but could feel her compassion through the words written here. She sounds like an amazing person I wish I could have met. We shall meet someday in the House of the Lord.

I only met Krystyna a handful of times over the years, but even with such a casual acquaintance I got a sense of the strength, character, and commitment to her family she possessed.

Dear Nick and Paul,
All of our lives have been made happier and more interesting because of your mother. She was a positive force for good and a formidable intellect. We miss you now and remember wonderful, fun days at Hillsboro with all of you. Krystyna had the ability to spread joy and a sense of fun in everything. She had the courage of a lioness, and I shall miss her.
