Dear Sista, Sista

I'm back in Texas with my family. My vacation to stay with you and Paul ended abruptly with your passing. I wish I could have consoled you on Sunday after church when you came to visit. I wish I could have removed your pain and anxiety. I wish you had waited for me to see you on Monday I tried calling repeatedly. Oh how I wish you could of answered. I cry inconsolably missing your friendship and love. I know in my mind you were too sick to know what you did. Because you had a true faith and love in our Lord. Mary you loved Paul,Shadow, relatives, and friends too much to leave them. Whereas knowing this is true I know you are with your Savior and Parents in Heaven.

P.S. If anyone would like to contact me my number is 1-414-731-6263.

Paul, My deepest sympathy's to you. I meet Mary at St James at a church function and made a connection that I will always treasure. I found out about her passing when I went to church today. I am so sorry I missed her funeral. Mary was a beautiful and insightful woman who could make you laugh and cry at the same time. I will miss her and her wonderful view of life. I wish I could have spent more time with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with this terrific loss.

Mary was my sister. She was an aunt to my children. We laughed, cried and shopped together. We were the best of girlfriends. We grew up together, we went to the same grade school and shared many fond memories of our teachers. We went through the deaths of our fathers together. I will truly miss my sister, my best friend.

The Laczniak's wish to express our sincerest sympathies. Mary Francis was a delightful, insightful, intelligent woman - always ready to make a joke and laugh with you. She and I had many lengthy and fun conversations. Her news letters at Christmas were the best. I've saved many of them because they always made me smile. Her stories about her dog Shadow were great. She had a wondeful sense of humor and was never above making fun of herself. She was always a welcome addition to our family gatherings. We will miss her.
