She was a great wife and mother and the most important thing in her life was
raising her family and caring for her seven grandchildren, cherishing each one of
them. Mom, we would like to thank you for all the love, understanding and support
that you have given to us and our children. We have received so much happiness
from being apart of your life. Everyone whose lives you have touched will sadly
miss you.
The family of this very special person would like to thank the following very
special people; her friends at the Manitowoc Public Library, Dr. Edward Barylak,
the nurses in the ICU and the Oncology Departments at Holy Family Memorial Medical
Center.
