I remember Mrs. Markowski lived a few blocks away in Conshohocken. Her and her husband were friends of my grandparents ( Adolf & Janina Grebosz). I remember their visits to the Conshy home in the early years and meeting them at the Polish church a lot. She would always tell me I looked like my grandmother. May she be in peace. ~Monika
