Dear Pat, Vince, and Judy,
Sending love, thoughts, and prayers from our family to yours at such a sad time. Remembering our visits when I was a little girl and the fun times we had. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. God bless. Love Niece Marilyn, Frank and Family

Dear Pat & Vince,

My prayers and thoughts are with you, my heart hurts at the passing of such a great lady and Aunt. I always remember her as being such a strong woman. When we visited, she always let me sit at the table with the sisters and be part of the big girl conversation, although that conversation was always in Polish lol. Even at a young age, I could tell you were the light of her life. She was very loved. Niece Laurane and Jim
