My dearest friend, I am going to miss you more than you know. We worked together, went on trips, was in my wedding, and great pals. Anyone who knew you had to know you were fun, a good mother and grandmother and a friend forever. Even after moving to Florida we always kept in touch and when I started with medical problems you checked on me all the time and even came to see me. You will always be in my heart and I loved you like a sister. Kids, if you need me I am here for all of you. Love, Helen Stempkowski

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of my cousin and godmother Jackie. It's been many years since I last saw her but a reconnection on Facebook a few years ago was wonderful. I'm sending prayers to all for the difficult days ahead and may you find peace and comfort in God's grace and love.
