I have only known you for 15 years of the 95 years you spent on this earth,
I can only imagine what your first 80 years of your life were like.
Dangerous, fearful ,exiting, happy, sad , feelings of pride and accomplishments that you experienced .
I have surely enjoyed the time that I have known and spent with you.

I love you and miss you daily.

Just a friend for the last 5 years.I enjoyed sharing coffee and tea with you a few times most weeks.... You taught me some Polish words and phrases ( like Jako Tako ) which was not " so so "to me !! Loved your sense of humour and candid conversations.

Rest in Peace my friend ./ Odpoczywaj w pokoju / Barry

You will be missed Ciocia Fredzia. Your easy laugh and kindness to all of us in the family will be remembered. You were a good friend to your sister-in- law and my mother, Genia Kukiel for which I was most grateful.

Although I never really knew Fredzia , along with my Mother, these two ladies were residents of Copernicus Lodge. Fredzia was known to me, through, Ula, who was her caregiver. Fredzia was often in the front entrance of Copernicus when I visited my Mom. She was a friendly and polite lady and always had a smile when greeted. My Mom passed,away a few weeks before Fredzia. Please accept my condolences. Rest In Peace. โœ๏ธ๐ŸŒนโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ’

My Mom was a resident with Fedizia at Copernicus Lodge.
Mom passed a few weeks before Fredizia but I have fond memories of meeting Fredzia in the front lobby over the past few years.
Rest in peace,Fredzia.
