I have so many fond childhood memories with Mrs. Steck. She was one of my grandmother's dearest friends. I can still hear the roars of laughter coming from my kitchen with all the ladies gathered around the table playing cards. May there be a great game of pinochle in heaven tonight. Bless her family. Love, Theresa Slaboszewski's granddaughter
