I'm very saddened by the death of my aunt Mary. I remember her as a young mother in Massachussetts. She is the last one of her siblings, and represents the end of an era, and a generation of the Witkowski clan.
I,m her brother Jim's oldest daughter Rose Witkowski Kolnhofer. My family, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for Mary's immediate and extended family. She was a good woman.
