    Dear Joyce, Alain, Steve, we are so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful person who touched the lives of so many. May you find strength and comfort in the cherished moments you shared together, and may her memory bring you peace. Annie and Krystyna still have such fond memories as kids learning about farm life from her. Having only met her a handful of times, it felt like we've known her forever given that we always stayed in touch over the the phone through out the years. I will miss all our conversations and chats that always brought me such comfort. Even though we lived miles apart, her kindness and generosity always made you feel at home in her presence. She will be very missed but her memories of her will live on in our hearts forever. Nasze najszczersze kondolencje z powodu śmierci Cioci Jadwigi, Nigdy o nie zapomnimy. Julia Karpowicz, Henryk, Krystyna and Annie Orzchowski Aunt Jadwiga will always be in our thoughts and prayers!!! ♥️♥️♥️

    Rest peacefully ciocia, I have a very vague memory of meeting you once. What I do know is that my dad and mom loved you dearly. Whenever they talked if you they spoke of what a wonderful person you were. Now reunited with family and friends I suppose that it's a lot easier to spend time with each other and catch up than when on earth. Rest peacefully ciocia, you know how deeply you are loved.
