Babci, not a day goes by that I don´t think of you or remember our family get togethers and time spent with you. You have taught me that no matter what we go through in life, our ups and downs, that family is the most important to hold close. Thank you for all your wonderful stories and giving us great advice. Yo I will always be in my heart. Love Karin.

Babci, I cant believe it has been a year since you have been gone. Looking back it was hard to think how we were going to get through the year without you. On holidays especially christmas eve where we would gather at your house since before i was born. Somehow though, we kept going every day because you have given us the strength through all the storys about your hardships you had to go through. I think about you every day and am greatful God gave me you. Even though you are not with us, physically your spirit is all around us. I miss you so much love always Karin Balda

Hello Mom "Jane", I am missing you everyday. I speak with your daughter Cheryl everyday almost. I don't know what I would do without her. You certainly raised a very thoughtful and caring daughter. She's just like you. You were a mom to many people. Taking us into your life and loving us all unconditionally. Well, I know with all of my being that you are in heaven now with your loved ones. As I selfishly wish you were still here I am comforted by the fact you are no longer in any pain. Your maker called you home to stop your suffering and reunite you with your loved ones that have been waiting for you. I miss you soooo much. The world was a better place while you were in it. The family and friends you leave behind will carry on your unselfish ways of helping others and making their days a little brighter. I love you Jane always and forever.

Babci- I regret not being closer to you, being the first grandchild. The time that we did spend together, especially the last ten years I saw a side of you that I admire, and could only hope to be as strong and enthusiastic as you. I will strive for the strength that you have taught us by example. As for now I guess its good bye until we meet on the other side. God Bless and I love you.

Few words in the the English dictionary can describe my Grandma "Babci". Even thou you weren't very tall you let nothing stand in your way, or bring you down. Rarely did I look behind me and not see you there with you snack bag supporting me. We all loved you so much... It is going to be hard to carry on without you from this point. It will never be the same, especially on the holidays. But, what you taught each one of us we can use it throughout our lives. You were an amazing women and you did unbelievable things and touched many people. You're in a better place now with grandpa and bob. I can easily say, you will never be forgotten. love you.

Since the day I met you . You've shown me caring and love that even my own family never really did. I will miss sitting next to you at the kids games and at the family events. You raised your children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren with love and honor. And in turn gave me the most wonderful blessings. I promise to hold on to you in my heart and mind. I love you Babci.
