The success on this earth and immediate access into heaven comes from being a good parent. The brood that Mr. and Mrs. Biskupic have dotted the globe with grants them access through the HOV lane and into their glory.

Dear Elaine and family, Yolanda informed me of the passing of your beloved mother. Although I did not know her personally, she must have been a fantastic mother as evidenced by the type of person her child -you - are.
I know you will take comfort, along with your siblings, in remembering the happy times you all spent together growing up.
So sorry for your loss.
hugs, Joan Furman

Hats off to that lovely women who raised that troop of Biskupics! What a lady, truly. When I look back to those memories of Mrs Biskupic on 113th and Wastenaw, I smile. A houseful, but I always felt welcome. Thank you to all the moms like you!
