I wish to send my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for the passing of Auntie Anne. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of times spent at Auntie Anne's home. I wish I could have spent more time with her. She was a warm and generous lady with a beautiful soul. What a great loss for the family. My love to you all.

We laid my Gramma to rest this morning and i would like to thank Hennessy-Nowak for their professinalism and kindness during our mourning. They were all so very caring. More importantly, I'd like to thank the many family and friends who came during the services. My Nana would be so happy to see all the love that was shown. My fondest memory of her would be just the 2 of us, sitting at her kitchen table doing arts and crafts, as she has SO MANY sequins, beads, you name it. We would spend hours making the perfect ornament, picture frame, and whatever we wanted!! We shared so many laughs and we always tried to see whos was the "coolest", and Nana always won :) You will always be in my heart Nan, and you are with Pops, and your parents and mom, and brother, and probably dancing with Busia and Dziadz. I will love you and always miss you. You are forever in my heart. I love you.

So sorry for your loss. My husband and I had the pleasure of getting to know Mrs Wilke thru our Meals on Wheels deliveries. She was always a sweet lady and was our favorite stop on every trip. She will be missed. Our prayers are with all the family.
