Dear Pete/Judy/Jack/Joe/Sam and the entire Nowotarski extended family,
Very saddened to hear of your Mother's loss--please know that she is in our thoughts and prayers. The poem below is simply a traditional Irish bereavement blessing that we wanted to send to your family to honor your Mother:
"You can only have one mother Patient kind and true; No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love."
Love to all, Karen and Steve Lynch

Dear David, Mike, Pete and Susie,
I am so sad to hear about the loss of your Mom. Mick was one terrific, special lady to me. My childhood is full of memories of her and all of you. The Nowotarskis and the Pizzutos had some wonderful times. Your Mom was the greatest, like a second mom to me, and I was fortunate enough to be able to continue our friendship throughout my life with her. She and Flo can now get together to catch up. My sincere sympathies and thoughts to you all.

Mike, Dave, Pete and Suzy.... I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom. Obviously, we have so many great memories of our childhood together, and "Mick" was such a big part of them. We spoke many times just before my mom passed and she had such a great spirit. She was so proud of you guys.

I cannot tell you how sad I am to hear of your Mom's passing. She was like a second mother to me and one of my Mom's dearest friends. I have more wonderful memories than I can count of your Mom. She was a big part of my childhood and I was fortunate that I was able to continue on with that friendship with her all of my life. My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with all of you. She was a wonderful, wonderful lady. I hope that Mick and Flo can catch up now......

I was saddened by the passing of Dolories. Having had the privilege of providing for her medical care for a number of years, I was always amazed at her unshakeable cheerfulness in the face of various medical issues. She was a joyful person and the world will be a less happy place with her passing. I know that she has a loving family which will find support within itself at this time as she has moved on to that final level existence.
