Dear Mr. Marchewka, Steve and Tim

I just received the news of Mrs. Marchewka's passing. I am not sure if you remember who I am, but Steve and I dated when I was younger. I just had to take a minute to tell you what a wonderful person I thought your Wife and Mother was!!! She was special to me when I was growing up and always made me feel like part of the family. She had this great capacity to love. I ran into her a few years back when Foodtown was still around, and she was still the warm and loving person I always remembered. I am only sorry I did not keep in contact, I would have loved for my daughters to meet this wonderful person. I always told my mom I wished I would have married into your family, because she and you, Mr.Marchewka would have been a wonderful "Mom" and "Dad". I am so sorry for your loss, the lights in this world will shine a little dimmer. God Bless all of You!!!

Love, Cheryl Abate (nee)Romanelli

Dear Uncle Marty, Steve, Timmy and Gloria,



So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of spending time as a kid with your family. Aunt Carol was always so good to me. My favorite memories were the "Hakowee" tribe gatherings (Where da Hakowee!). Most of all, I remember how much you guys loved each other. May Christ's peace be with you all.



God Bless,
