Its already been a year since you passed on and I can say I really miss you. The talks and discussions we had and of course the disagreements. Going to bingo and eating out. I visit the grave of you and dad when I can. Haven't visited since before Christmas, but I know that I can talk to you anytime because you and dad are always with us. I hope you and the rest of the family are catching up on things, my God its been a year. Keep our entire family in your prayers and protect the grandchildren and great grandchildren as much as you can.

Stella, I see you talked to God & found the BEST way to keep an eye on everyone. Its brilliant but you know they'll have to hug each other close when they think of you OH! Thats part of your plan..you are so clever,you've raised a great family and they will keep growing & raising & helping each other along the way..while you & George watch from above. I wish I had written down some of those sayings of yours,They were so wonderful..a book should have them listed..I'd buy copies to give as gifts.Gifts of sheer joy & laughter with a few lessons is hard to find. Now that you've been choosen Enjoy the peace you've found at HOME!

Dear Pat and fanily;
I was so glad that I was able to see her for the last time. You gave her a very nice send off.
I have found memories of her card playing; those old Polish showers were everything was home made. Always a lady that had a nice smile and a very pleasant personality.  Losing a Mom is a very hard thing. Bless you and your family.   Love Terry K

Pat and Family.  There are no words that will ever make the loss make it any easier,  But please feel comforted that she is at peace and without pain.  Soon she will be at HOME where she will feel no pain, meet up with dearly loved husband, family, old friends and a new bingo board where win or loose she will be happy. God bless you ALL!!  Love The Lueck Family

Grandma u will be missed very much by all of us.How can i start, actually i dont know how to but here are a couple of memories i have of us. My best times spending with u were at the cottage, if it was playing cards (rummy),walking down the road to get water from the springs with me and Joe or you yelling at us with are friends (Mark or Matt) for goin past the ropes in the deeper water at Sandy Beach. Those memories still cross my mind to this day or when it was cold u would say ohhh i think the devil just ran through me,or when u got in your house we would wait for u to turn the lights on and you would wave good bye. Well when you see grandpa tell him i miss him very much and i cant wait to go fishing with him when its my turn to join you guys in heaven. Dont fight to much up there and i will always tell JJ and Landon when it thunder and lightings out that is the way of you too saying hi to their great grandkids. Love and miss you very much and remember grandma to wear your  babuchka (not sure of spelling). when it gets cold out(I think that was polish for your hat).You always said that. Your grandson Jamie

Dear Grandma....
      Its been little less than a week that you've left us.. I have so many wonderful memories of you that I will hold close in my heart forever. Going to play bingo with you and mom when I was little, church festivals, walking up to mitchell street with you to go to Goldmans and the "dime store". Playing rummy with me and my brothers at the cottage..Memories..as I got older I didnt visit as much as I should have.. I am sorry for this, but no regrets.. We would always catch up at holidays. I will always remember how you loved your sweets, "jelly donuts", and "schnekas"( long johns), those are my favorite too!! But, I will always remember you told me the same thing after every holiday when we would drive you home at night, especially at Christmas time when it was freezing out..We would pull up in front of your house and it never failed, you always said... "Ahhh...there's no place like home." That's right...and now indeed you are home...I never understood how you could live in that big house by yourself..you were never scared.  Over the years you taught me not to be scared too.. Tell grandpa when you see him how much we've missed him too!!! Grandma.. I will love you and miss you forever..you were absolutley the BEST GRANDMA ever:) You will be deeply missed....

Your loving grandaughter
