My dearest mother, although your work here on earth is done,and our father called you home, the pain I feel everyday is overwelming. As tears roll down my cheeks I can feel you gently brush them away. You hug me and tell me softly not to cry, and everything will be ok. I miss you terribly and thank you for being the mom that you were. Not only were you my mom but you were my friend. Never once was an unkind word uttered from your lips. My girls ashley and courtney know what a true blessins is. Not only were they blessed to have you for a gema but also as their friend. As you watch us from above with that radiant smile please know how much you are not only loved, but how much you are truely missed. When God created you He knew how truly special you would be, and how that specialness would affect others. I love you and miss you sooo much. Thank you for being you and for loving me unconditionally.

Jim and the entire Nowak family, you all were part of my life and my family for many years, while Jim worked at Charles Chips with us. I remember many days sitting in your home chatting with you and your wife. I am sorry for your loss and you have my deepest regrets for your family's loss. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

Mom gave so much and asked for nothing in return. She was an excellent mother and friend. Although we were in different states, mom and I had coffee together every morning. My coffee buddy is gone and my heart aches daily. Mom instilled so many values into our lives. If I am able to pass down a partion of them to my daughters, they will be set for life. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

The first time I met Jeanne Nowak she made me feel like I was family. I only knew her for a few short years. In that time, I saw someone who cared deeply for her family, she loved them dearly. She always knew what to say when someone was feeling down, only nice things to say, always a smile. My only wish is that I would have met her sooner, so I could have gotten to know her better. She was truly an Angel. She will always be in my heart, I will forever miss her.

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You're always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again....

I didn't know Jeanne too well but I do know she was a great woman. She could spare a kind word and she could make you laugh and smile. She was a nice person to be around and it's sad to see her go.

First I just wanna say I love you Gema and I miss you a lot! You were such an amazing, wonderful person. The world lost a very special, important person. I will never forget you. You were so kind, funny, caring, sweet and adorable. I'm gonna miss picking on how short you were :( I'm gonna miss making you laugh. Life doesn't seem normal without you. Life is very unfair to the kindest people. You left us so suddenly, we didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Looking back on my whole life, there are so many things I wish I had told you, or done for you. Instead of dwelling on the past and all of the things I wish I had done for you, I will think of all the good times we had together. I remember spending all those summers with you, rubbing your back and watching soaps with you. And wrestling. That was always so much fun. I'm SO glad you made it through Stacey's wedding and the birth of my Layla. I only wish she could get to know you. So she could see how wonderful and amazing you were. I know she loved you. I could tell by the way she smiled at you. I promise you that I will tell her all about you!! I hope my family can stay strong, we all need to be here for each other. It's not fair that you're gone Gema, I want you to come back. I love you. <3

She was the best person in the world and the sweetest person I knew. I don't have one single bad memory of her. Everything I remember is happy and fun and I miss her so much.
She was the one person I could call and talk to and tell her anything and she always made me feel better no matter what. Every morning before middle school I had such a hard time going to school so I called her and she would make me feel better and tell me everything would be fine. When I didn't have my dad's house to go to on the weekend I went to her house. Spending the night at Gema's house was the best thing in the world!
She used to let me create weird mixed together drinks and food and she would taste them every time! I don't know why anyone would drink such horrible things out of a tea party set teacup but she always would...because she was the best Gema in the world.
Whenever I was hurt she was Dr. Gema and she always took care of me. I'm so sad that my kids won't be able to have what I had with her. I wanted to be able to ask her for advice on how to take care of babies and I wanted them to be able to spend the night at her house like I did.
Every time I drink coffee I think of her and I miss her so much. I have so many memories every little thing reminds me of her. Right now it's hard to deal with but I'm happy that I'll always have memories and I'll always be able to remember how much I love her.
I want her back so bad I miss her so much and I love her so much. I hope I get to see her again one day.

Love, Noel

Mom, I can remember you walking me to school when I was little. I remember you rubbing my legs at night when I could not sleep through the pain. I remember all of your kind words as well as the ones that made me think to make the right decisions. You have always been there for your children as well as for ours. I could not have raised Stacey, Stephanie or Ryan without your guidance and support. You were always there when we needed you the most. My children are the strong, sincere, honest, loving human beings they are today because of you and your values that you instilled upon myself and them. I believe in my heart that if my children look at me as half as good a Mom as you were to me, that I am truly blessed! You were there to share in all of my good times and laughter as well as to hold me and comfort me during my upsets and sadness. You always seemed to know how to make the hurt subside. I cannot come to terms with saying good bye to you...never. I will leave you with: I will see you later. I love you more than anyone could ever imagine! I still need you in my life and will forever miss you my loving Mother, my rock, my solice my HERO... my everything!!!

I lost my Gema and all i could think about was her talking to me about how i was doing and how i was feeling. I also remember telling her things and her not telling anyone else about what i had said. She was best gema a person could wish for. She was strict at times but that was only cuz she loved us and wantedus to do good with our life. She called me her weebez and that was a name i loved hearing her call me. She was aloways there for people if you needed something or you needed a place to collect your self. I have not seen my gema or gepa in a long time and i regret that too this day. I no I will always love her and will always remeber the good times we had together. I LOVE YOU GEMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing I can say to replace your mother, for nothing replaces a mother's love. Cliche as it sounds, she will always be alive in your hearts. Everytime you may begin to stray, you will hear her voice, reminding you of your upbringing :). Much love and prayers to all.

The most wonderful woman in the world is my mother. While there are no real words to explain how truly magical a woman she was, there is one word to describe her. No matter the situation she always knew what to do and say. From teaching me to drive to hugging away the tears. Though i never really listened, I heard and remember every word she said. I will continue to do the best I can to remember the things you taught me. As I have so much more to say, the tears of my heart are clouding my mind. By the way the one word to describe her is MOM!! I Love You mommy! I miss you mommy!

I am so incredibly saddened by the world's loss of Mama Nowak. Mama had so much love and strength that she easily bestowed on everyone who knew her. For quite a few years she was easily the mother mine couldn't be for me at the time. I was looking forward to being able to see all of you this summer when I came down, especially Mama. She meant more to me than your family can even fathom. I am so regretful that I was unable to keep in touch with everyone for so long. Please know I am praying earnestly for everyone. Pop--please stay strong. Know that you will be reunited with your one and only love one day. Mama--rest in peace and God's glory. Worship at his feet and let Him know we need His peace.

My Mother was The Most Wonderful Woman the world has ever and will ever know. She gave so much of herself to her family. She is my best friend. I overheard her talking to her Mom on the phone one day. I had just come over to do her laundry, and she told her mom,"There's my guardian angel." I will always hold that in my heart. She was my angel. She gave me strength when I had none. She had faith in me when no one else did. She ALWAYS had my back. The world lost a special person. I'd give anything to hug her again, to kiss her, to tell her how much I will always love her. She's with us all now. Everyday she's there smiling down on us. She's at peace. No more pain, no more stress, no more worrying. I love you so much Mommy!!! I will make you proud of me!!!! And I look forward to the day I see you again. It can't come soon enough. I miss you so much it hurts. It hurts so much. You will live in my heart forever Mommy!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! If I turn into half the woman you were, I'll be doing great!! You will never be forgotten Mommy. Never!! I LOVE YOU!!!
