I finally did it, I uploaded your favorite pic.  We said we were going to do that again, but we waited for perfect conditions. Awe, lesson learned here.   Those who wait for perfect conditions never gets anything done.  Rest now my Darling  mom is excited you will be greeting her over.  And I love you. Like you say, "I always loved you for long time!!" Peace Out Doll. 
                                                        Your Soulmate

Oh, Honey Boo, I am going to miss you. I know you made it through and that Father God has got you.  But I have a few questions.  Can we cut the grass now? And who's going to do it?   Lol. I know why I got the yard done so soon.  And I know why the cannas already bloomed.  This is our 20th garden and  God is so good. The grass will never look the same, but I promise you someone will cut it anyways. This is hard for me  honey,  this transition,  but thanks to you I have all these children.  And dont you worry,  Carol and I got this.  And your brothers got this. You know honey, it takes a village.  You also know the Ziolkowski's sometimes dont get along . But we stay together and stand strong. We got that from mom ya know.  She was the glue. Thank you for honoring,  In sickness and in health. I really do appreciate you.  Thank you for 22 years and all the grandkids.  Thank you for helping me with my life lessons. But most of all, thank you so much for our last dance. 2018 Anniversary.  I remember what you said, "We are riding on the Princess and I am sitting next to my queen" Amen! I will stay strong, because I know I must carry on.  Forever in my heart!!!!

My wife and I  were sitting by the pool in Port Austin and she said, " I know that guy over there. He works at the plant." I thought he looked familiar but I thought she was wrong. Turned out to be Gary. We sat there and talked for about an hour.  Very nice people.  Oh and I had to pay her a $100.00 bucks because she was right! Our thoughts go out to the entire family. Gary was well thought of and respected at work. He will be missed.

I love you daddy. I’ll always be your little girl. You were my best friend and I was always be daddy girl. You call me everyday around 4 to just say hi, I’m going to miss that so much. Your with grandma now both my angels looking down. This will never get easy I lost my other half. Rest In Peace dad. 

Dear Ziolkowski Family,

Dear Brother Gary

Gary 
Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come.
Words unspoken - I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
I was there when you needed a place to stay,
just like you would be there for me night or day.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it's time for me to say Goodbye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly


Love you Big Brother 
Mark





 

Gary working with you was always a great time. After finding out our children knew each other. We always had stories to share. You were such a proud father. You always helped me out when I was down. I thank you for that. You will truly be missed. 

Gary being your sister-in-law for 32 years was my privilege and my honor.  You are a fabulous Uncle to my children Antoinette and Ray and to Mark's child Kyle!  You where always there when I needed to talk to somebody and you where a great brother to my husband Ray and a great son to mom and dad.  You will always be loved (say hi to Mom from us) and don't eat the small black round things in the kapusta 😁.  Love you
Your sister in law 
Athena Ziolkowski
