Memories and Condolences

Dear Michalesko Family,
My deepest sympathies on your mom's passing. I have quite alot of memories from our days on Hollywood together. I remember as a young girl I loved to listen to your mom talk because I thought the sound of her voice (because of her accent) was neat!

I also remember her and Kathy helping me to learn the song of the Blue Birds!!! To this day, I remember most of the words - so your mom (and you too, Kathy!) had a lasting impression on me!

I know it has to be difficult for all of you - you have many wonderful memories to keep her alive in your hearts.

God bless

To the Michalesko Family-

I remember your Mom well from Hollywood Avenue in Chicago. That was a wonderful time to be growing up. All of you were a little younger than I was, but your faces and names are still fresh in my mind because you lived right across the street. Your Mom was always pushing a buggy like mine was. What a career she had in addition to raising 7 children, and what a very nice person!

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I'm sure she is having a great time in heaven!

Sincerely,

Helen Giese

Dear Michalesko Family,

I was so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Although many years have passed since we were neighbors growing up on Hollywood Ave, I will always remember your Mom coming and going in her crisp, white nurse's uniform while still finding the time to raise a great family and host activities for a lot of other kids on the block. What an accomplished and successful woman she was, in so many ways.

May you find comfort knowing that your Mom is now happily reunited with your Dad and Mark, and that they are all looking down on you from Heaven.

May God bless and keep all of you during this difficult time.

With sympathy,

Philip Firrek
