Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?

Dawn, Debbie, and Diane and family,

Please accept my condolenses for your mother, Marian. I don't know if you will remember when your mom, dad, and yourselves would come and visit your grandparents in Two Rivers. My mom, Susan Perry Kaminski, and your mom graduated together and were good friends. I remember playing together, which was a long time ago. When my mom was sick (about 25 years ago), and she was in a hospital in Milwaukee, your mom was there to help my mom. I really appreciated her help during this difficult time. Marian was also my sister Lori's godmother. I can't remember which one of you she was godmother for. I just found out recently about the passing of your mother through my Dad, Bob Kaminski, who was told by Judy Pilger. If you have time, please contact me at [email protected]. You will be in my families prayers.

I am so sorry I just learned of Marian's passing. I worked with her at Alverno and am so sad to learn of this news. My sincere condolences to all of you. May she rest in peace.

Dear Dawn, Debbie, Diane and families:
You may remember me from working with your mom at Alverno College and also attending your weddings and showers. Marian and I became long time friends and even after retiring we had a group that stayed in touch by going out to dinner. We all looked forward to these get togethers where we could catch up on the lives of our families and grand-kids. In fact we just saw Marian for dinner in mid-October. I was so sorry to have missed the funeral Mass as I was down in Indiana for Thanksgiving week and didn't return until Sat night. I will miss my dear friend Marian and hope we meet again someday.
Fondly,
Sherri Taylor

Dear Family,

I am so sorry I missed Marian's visitation and funeral mass. We were busy getting ready for a 1:00 visit that will amount to a "little Thanksgiving" with our brother-in-law who is in assisted living. I just want you to know that we love Marian and we will miss her presence among us. But I'm sure we will meet again.

Be assured that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Our Neighbors,

It is heartbreaking to lose Marian! Don and I were so blessed to share a very special time raising our family next door to you all. Our lives were better with Marian and Bob and their daughters just over the fence. Your mom and dad spent many days out in that yard sharing time and our lives together. You made us feel very at home and special.We will always love all of you! We remember your laughter and your appreciation for your family and your home and neighbors. You were so very real and caring. God sure does pick His best for caring for His flock and now His garden in heaven. Marian you were one wonderful strong woman walking with God's love and faith! You have left us all with a tall order to fill. Your legacy continues with your dear family of whom you were both so proud! We miss you dearly!

My condolences to the entire family. I went to Italy on the OLOL trip that Marian and Sister Ann did. I also took part in weekday liturgies when I lived on WI. Marian also came to my concerts! She was a lovely lady ... Truly a Christian woman!
