For those of you who may not know me, my name is Brianne Chibroski. I am daughter of Wendell Chibroski and granddaughter of Hazel Chibroski. 
When I first found out my grandma had cancer, the thought of her dying form it never crossed my mind. I’ve always known my grandma as a strong, caring, loving, and kind hearted person. There was no way she could die from this. The treatments, they had to work. That’s what they’re for right? She’ll go through the treatments, have good and bad days, and they she’ll get better. She’ll get stronger, and she’ll be her normal self again. This was my mind set through this whole process. My mind was set on my grandma pulling through everything and beating her battle with cancer. What inspired me the most was my grandma’s attitude through it all. She had her mind set on one goal and one goal only and that was to make it up to the cabin again. Every time we would go and visit her, during the time we were with her she would say at least one time that day, that she was going to make it back up there. Every time she would say this it made me smile because I wanted the same thing. I wanted what she wanted, her happiness. Another thing that really inspired me was her sense of humor. Through it all she never lost it, she was always making me smile and laugh. For example, this last Christmas, just a few months ago, my dad, my mom, Grandpa, my sisters, and I were all sitting in the living room at my grandparent’s house. The smell of chicken roamed throughout the air, Smiles were on everyone’s faces, and Christmas music was playing in the background. This in my eyes was the picture perfect Christmas. Everything was just so peaceful. Grandma then found her sparkly Santa hat and showed it to my little sister Kristin. My sisters and I decided that Grandma definitely needed to wear the hat so we could all get into the Christmas spirit. So, Grandma puts on the hat and everyone in the room started laughing. My grandma was now wearing a sparkly Santa Hat and Making a silly face. This was my typical Grandma.
Loosing someone you love dearly makes you think about a lot of things. For me most of those things are happy memories I have had with that person. Some very strong memories I have had with my grandma are all the times we went fishing. I remember one night very distinctly. When we go fishing, we usually fish till midnight. Well, this night happened to be a very good night for me. I had caught my limit of 5 fish and it was only 11 o clock. My grandma on the other hand had only caught 2 fish and wasn’t getting a single bite. So, I walked over and sat down next to her. I asked for her pole and I held it for maybe 30 seconds when I started to feel something on the other end. So, I hand the pole back to my grandma and the next thing you know she is reeling in another fish. She told me that night that I had the magic touch. Another thing I remember about fishing with my grandma is whenever we went fishing she would start saying “Here, Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!”  My aunt actually started saying this a few years ago but, ever since then my grandma has been saying it. As you can imagine this was very funny to here from your grandma.
I will never forget my grandma and what an amazing person she was. She was always a huge part of my life, creating memories that will last a life time. When I knew that it was coming to an end I cried many tears and thought, “How in the world am I supposed to go on with life knowing that she is gone, knowing that she won’t be there for my next birthday or any birthdays to come?” I kept thinking however and even though she may not physically be her I know that she is always going to be in my heart, going everywhere I go. She has gained a very special place in my heart and there she will always remain.

The pictures were wonferful. Reminded me of all good times we had at the lake and the great night fishing. Hazel was such a great person, I am honored to say I was one of her friends. My deepest sympathy, Gloria Pueschel
