I'll miss you grandma. I love you and always will. Don't worry grandpa is well taken care of. Just have yourself a good time because you need a break of all the good you've done for those you love. But, you are still doing good for us down here because you lived life to the fullest and your life has benefited us because of you.
Love and miss you,
Your granddaughter,
Stephanie Marie

Dear Wally and Family,

I am sorry to hear that Pauline has passed away. We had so many good times with her. She always had a smile on her face and enjoyed life to the fullest. She was always laughing... My mom told me about the time when your wife, my mom and Theresa were at her house and she had candles on the table and then the table started a fire in the dinning room. We had such a nice old neighborhood. Its too bad the neighborhood had to change. My mom always had a great time with your wife. My mom is in heaven with your wife now. They are not in pain anymore.. They are with God.
Take care, I know that this is a very difficult time. It still is for all of us Zyskowskis'

One of my fondest childhood memories will always be of me and my dad going to Uncle Wally and Auntie Pauline's house, and of hanging out with Auntie in her warm and cozy kitchen, made warmer by her. I will miss her very much!

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." -- Luke 23:43

And, Auntie Pauline, heaven has grown that much sweeter because I know that is exactly where you are.
