One of my favorite memories of Auntie Helen and Uncle Arthur was when I was around 7 or 8 years old and we still lived in Detroit, not too far from their house. We would go sledding and ice skating and when we were done we would stop and Great Aunt Helen and Great Uncle Arthur's house for hot chocolate and while she had our clothes in the dryer, I would play with their little dog Bella. 
Give Grandma a big hug from me Auntie Helen.  

Mrs. Michalski was like a second mother to me also. Ever since I was old enough to waddle down the block and find people there Gary and  I became close friends,  She became almost a second  mother to me, in fact I started to call her mom at times. After my own mother died I knew that she was always turn ti her for motherly advice or if I just needed a shoulder to cry on. Even after I left the neighborhood I would stop by and made sure I said hello. There are too many memories to list here, but, be assured that they will always in my heart A great lady has finally  gotten her rewards from the heavenly father.

How can I share one memory of one of the most important people in my life. Next to my own mother, the memories of my godmother go so far back. The loving, generous, lady that came to our house so very often bringing us food, clothes, and money to help my mom and us. Even though her and my uncle Arthur had their own children, they always helped us, despite of their own needs. No one else did that. 
I’ll never forget her smile and of course her laugh. We could be in the next room, and her laugh made us laugh. We as kids would come in the kitchen while they were playing cards and talking. Instantly the language switched from English to 
Polish.  Of course as time went by, we picked up a lot of that Polish and could pretty well figure out who and / or what they were talking about. And her stories about working at Kmart were hilarious. 
We would all go to my Babcias house in Hamtramck usually on Sundays. That was the best. Playing with my cousins and eating all that polish food was the happiest of all. 
I will always remember her in my heart , through all the memories I have of her. And I will always love her.
