Aunt Marge was a great lady and will be greatly missed.  I know she is happy to be back with Uncle Cas, though.  Her Christmas letters since he passed away were very sad ... she missed him so.  My deepest sympathy to the entire Sowa family.

Grandma Sowa(as my husband and kids knew you),
I am so great full that I had the opportunity to meet you and see the house where John went as a child. You were such a special lady who made everyone feel welcome and at home when they visited you. You wrote such loving letters and cards full of updates and feelings you had for each person.
You were a genuine person who loved your family very much and lived your life as a loving christian woman. 
You knew everyones birthday and always sent cards and well wishes! I will miss those special cards and your sweet loving smile.

Aunt Marge We love you and will miss you more than ever. Love Bill and Anita

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Aunt Marge was a great lady. I enjoyed her letters throughout the years. I will miss her and cherish my memories of her.



Aunt Marge was a loving & caring person. I saw her the last time at my brother Eddie's funeral this past May. She will be missed, but I know she is in a better place with the Lord.

Marge was a wonderful lady. I did her hair for years and remember her as one of my favorites. She always had a kind word and smile to go with her big heart. When ever I drive past the old house on OPlaine I think of her. I know she is glad to be back with her husband. You are all in my prayers. 
 Sincerely,
 Nancy Kolar Creaney

My Mother will truly miss her dear friend, Marge.  She called Marge her sister, and Marge called my Mom her angel.  Their friendship began as neighbors in 2008 but it seemed as though they were friends for a lifetime.  It was a grace from Heaven to have such a special friendship.  With heartfelt sympathy to the Sowa Family,

 I remember the phone ringing and yelling,"Hey Mom, it's Aunt Marge!" And then hear my mom say back,"Tell her I'm getting a cup of coffee and a cigarette, and I'll be right there."  A phone call from Aunt Marge was something that wouldn't be something quick. It was something that would be time well spent, a break in the day that was truly enjoyed. I remember those phone calls lasting sometimes over an hour. How wonderful to have a friend like that to talk to.
  Our family always enjoyed going to her and Uncle Cas's house in Gurnee for a visit or when there were family picnics in the yard. Everyone would have a great time playing horse shoes and tossing water balloons until one by one everyone was eliminated. 
  What loving people they were. Our family will keep Aunt Marge in our prayers. 
Still I know that her welcoming into heaven made so many other waiting souls happy to be rejoined by such a good friend.

                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                       Stosh Wolowski
