To Our Dearest Cousins, Mary, Gene & Families

It is with heartfelt sympathy and sorrow that we mourn for the loss of our loved and cherished Aunt, Chocha Zosia. We were blessed to have her in our lives for all these years. We will never forget her gentleness, kindness and love of humour.
For me personally, I treasured all the times I spent either visiting Chocha at home, on my way from work, or calling her to say hello. Chocha and I had wonderful chats and special moments together. She will always remain near and dear in my heart forever.

May Chocha Zosia Rest In Peace along with our beloved families.
God Bless and Peace be with you all.

Sincerest love Liz, PJ & Adam

With a heavy heart, our deepest condolences to Mary/Kam, Eugene/Julie and offsprings in your mournful loss of a wonderful lady, Sophia the grand matriarch of your family.

We will always admire her good naturedness, her cheerfulness with that twinkling smile, laughter and caring interest in people through our conversations.
Some things never go out of style with her, like her signature hairdo.

Kudos to Sophia for soldiering on for many years after she lost the love of her life (husband, Bill). Moreover, it's comforting to know she is now in the heaven's above with the rest of her angelic kin and friends (i.e. our Baba, Gigi and Laudia).

The outpouring of utmost love, praise and sympathy is testament to her fine persona and the fabulous work she did in nurturing her family tree of exemplary offshoots.

May her family overcome their immense pain, sorrow and hardships in due time. Godspeed Sophia's new afterlife and bless those left behind.

Peace and love to all,

Ray, Randall, Richard, Natalie and Julian
