You were always our rock. You have taught us all so much, most importantly the true meaning of family. You were our angel here on earth, now you are forever our beautiful angel up above. I know that you will forever be with us because you will always be in our hearts. Words cannot express how heartbreaking this is but I know we will get through it together. Emmalee looked at your picture last night and said that's my nanna, I love her so much. We will miss you forever and love you always. Rest in peace my beautiful angel, my gram.

I moved in with the Zebrowski Family when I was 15, being an only child coming in to a family of 7 children was overwhelming, Mom took me in as her 8th without thinking twice, she taught me how to be a parent and how to be a good human being, to her family was every thing. I will miss her more than words can say.
