It´s hard to believe you have it been physically with us for many years now, but we think of you often and hold so many good memories of you in our hearts . You were a cool aunt and taught me many things that still affect my life . Bless you and see you again one day.

It's been 6 years but it seems like yesterday Aunt Mary left us. She was called "Marygod" by me as she was both my aunt and Godmother. We all love and miss Aunt Mary very much but have faith she is with loved ones who went before. We, her family, feel her keen and protective eyes watching over us, as always.

In memory of my mom's sister, my Aunt and Godmother, Mary Guarino Wojcik. It's been 4 years, but we so miss your presence at the family reunions. You were the last to leave us, from the greatest generation, the one whose legacy we always honor. I think of you "up there" still arguing with mom about her coffee tasting like espresso. And "yours", she said, "was like water." We love and miss you.

Aunt Mary was the most principled person I ever met - she did not waver from true north - she lived a meaningful life - R.I.P.

I loved "Aunt Mary". She meant so much to me and made such a difference in my life. What a beautiful lady and such a sweet, warm, and loving person. I will miss her smile and never forget her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Karen Serafine

Deanna,
I was saddened to learn of your Mom's passing. "Aunt" Mary was an aunt to many....and now she will assume another role, that of guardian angel.
If you were fortunate enough to have been in her company for any length of time, one immediately sensed that she was a force to be reckoned with.
I feel blessed to have known her.

Aunt Mary will be so missed by all of us. She had the unique ability to make us all feel special. She would always look into your eyes and really listen and ask questions and she had that great little laugh. She would always offer her words of inspiration and wisdom. I have so many memories of growing up with Aunt Mary, she will always be with me.

We will celebrate Aunt Mary's Life in our minds and hearts. Mary Wojcik would have been a significant person if she was born 1000, 500 or 300 years ago or if she were to be born today or 500 years from now.

I will miss my awesome Aunt Mary. She was a one-of-a-kind, no nonsense lady who lived her life to the fullest. Rest in peace, and our condolences to Deanna and Jim.

My Dear Aunt and Godmother ("Marygod") will deeply be missed by her loved ones here, yet we are warmed by the knowledge that she has been welcomed, open armed by the family on the "other side." I will forever cherish the memories we made, and just know Aunt Mary will "be around" to keep her eye on us. My love and support to my cousin Deanna, who made her Mom so very proud.
Love,
Marianne
