My fondest memory of Grandma is the expression she'd have on her face when she would retell the story of how I, as a teenager in high school, saw her on the bus with her rollers in and babushka on and didn't hesitate to sit right down next to her. She would say that she was so embarrassed I saw her looking that way, but so happy I sat with her. My only thought was, "Hey, there's grandma!" To my tremendous family, thank you for all you've done over all those years for Grandma, and may we all take comfort in the thought that one day we will join her in paradise and I can once again say "Hey, there's grandma!".

All my love

I love you Mom with all my heart. You are with Jesus now, The Blessed Virgin Mary, who you love so very much. Along with all your family who have passed before you. I love them all, even without ever meeting our extended family in Poland. You told me stories over the years about all of them & your life from when you were a little girl, the war & life until you came to this country. Who helped you find a place to live. I also will never forget what you told me so many times throughout the years in my times of trouble or deep sadness; After the darkest storms, the sun always comes out & shines the brightest. Jesus is telling us HE loves us & everything will be alright. This never meant more to me than right now after this dark life storm.
