Mrs Wawrzyniak was my favorite mother of my friends growing up. She lived right down the street and I would often go there to ventilate about my own home while she was cooking dinner. She was a warm friendly person and I always liked being around her.
I was saddened to learn of your mother’s passing and join in your sorrow. We were cousins growing up together. We went our separate ways over the years, but happily, reconnected in the last few. Your mother was a gem, a joy to be with, and will be greatly missed. Please know that she and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for the gift of having known you and been your only daughter -in-law. You were a joy to be around -your laugh was contagious and you always had a way of putting everyone else’s needs before your own. Your wisdom, perspective, and insight was a gift to everyone you came in contact with. I will always treasure our long talks and doing crossword puzzles together. You were like a mother to me and I will miss you very much
May you Rest In Peace
All My Love
