Many fond memories of growing up in Calumet City across the alley from the Zaborski family. As children we played as much in their yard as our own. We grew to love each other´s family and as life progressed we learned that time and space could not separate us...indeed Best Friends Forever.
Mrs. Zaborski was well known for her talents of crocheting, knitting, and needle point creating beautiful and time consuming projects which she then generously gifted. I still enjoy two afghans, both bringing comfort and warmth literally and figuratively!
We will have a great reunion one day in our Father´s heavenly home. Until then, Mrs. Zaborski will live on through our love and wonderful memories.
