Dear Family,
Just got word of Ms Radecki. I knew her as Bunny.
She was a very kind and sweet person.
When I made appointments with the
doctor i made sure she would be there.
We enjoyed talking and she always made me feel calm till the doctor came in.
She was always talking about her family and was showing me pictures.
She will be missed. My prayers are with the family. I live in Tennessee now but travel to Chicago for doctor
appointments couple times a year.

Dick, Annie, Beth & Butch,

I was sadded to hear about Nancy. She is still someone I think about often, and as a mom someone I have often tried to emulate. Thinking back to her wisecraking loving way of discipline has helped me many times to whether some of the more challenging moments with my teenage son! I remember so many meals at your house. The summers when Annie & I so often slept over at each others home our mothers just got used to the extra daughter. She was a great adult to have in my life those early years.

My deepest sympathy to you all and my wishes for the best of futures.

much affection,

To the Radecki Family,
Anne, Beth and Butch you took wonderful care of your Mom, God bless you all.
I will always remember the wonderful times we all had. Your Mom was one of a kind.
When we look up at the evening sky and see stars, perhaps they are not the stars but rather brilliant bright openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are with us always.

Dear Radecki Family,
I am very sorry for the loss of your dear wife/mother. Nancy was one of my Girl Scout leaders growing up and I have many fond memories of camping trips with her at Juniper Knoll. Annie, I am reminded of you often, as I have a photo collage hanging in my house and there is a picture of you and my husband (John Azpuru) at Wildwood Park. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Even though we move away, we never forget where we came from and those we have met along the way. Your mom was one of those extraordinary people I met along the way. God Bless You.
