Mrs. B- thanks for all the wonderful 4th of July memories!

Thank you Mrs. B
For all that you gave us--you opened up your heart and your home to us. You so generously shared your family with us. You supplied us with cherished memories-the stories will live on and even be told to future generations--oh all those 4th of Julys-1 day that went on for several days of the best parties we ever experienced. You were the true matriarch that provided us with so much laughter and good times that brings smiles to our faces at the very thought of some of our times together.
My personal favorite memory that few people know about, happened on one New Years Eve--after spending a nite having dinner at a restaurant, Wally and I went to Ron and Jan's on Rockwell for an after party to continue our N.E. celebration. There were quite a few people there and fortunately this included Mrs. B. After everyone fell asleep - many on the living room floor, the only remaining souls were Mrs. B. and me. As the snow piled up outside and we had to compete with some snoring- we ended up talking through the entire nite that was filled with Mrs. B.'s profound thoughts and colorful conversation. It me feel so accepted and comfortable-realizing what a warm person she was. It was one of my best all niters. As the birds began to chirp and the sleepers finally started to wake to begin their coffee drinking conversations, I was almost mad that they were then going to engage Mrs. B. (I wanted to keep our time together going).
We love you Mrs. B and will never forget all that you provided us with and are so very grateful that you graced our lives and made our lives so much richer. Rest in peace and enjoy seeing your beloved family members that preceded you.

Mrs. B. you have always been my #2 Mom. From the first time we met, you made me feel like a part of your family, so I moved in. You provided over the many years (almost 60) love and guidance. You were always there when I needed someone. You are the light at the end of my tunnel and I know you will still always be there and in my heart forever. The Polish Boy.
