My sister Lill will be missed oh so much. I don't know how long it will take me to not think that I can call her. I loved her very much and she died knowing how much I loved her. Until I see her again, and forever, she will always remain in my heart. To her family, I know your sorrow as I am part of that family. Lill's sister and your aunt, Beverly Pietrzyk

We may have said good bye to you mom this morning, but in our hearts we are truely saying we will see you again one day with Dad. Your 4 kids love you very much and miss you very much.

The house is not the same here without you. I understand day by day it is suppose to get better. But I am still waiting to see you come out of your bedroom or even come out of the family room and say something to us.

Mom I miss you so much and it is going to be so hard to go day by day without you. I wish you were here with us all. I wish i could just have one more hug, one more kiss good night from you, one more dance with you in the middle of the night.

I wish you were home with me again mom. Where you belong with your family.
