Mom#2 I can still picture you on your knees cleaning that kitchen floor every morning. Picking up Sharon to head to Maxwell Institute. That is one floor that was as clean as the kitchen table. Your love and care that you always showed me will never be forgotten. Love you!!
Mrs. Kalinowski taught me many things. How to fold a fitted sheet, for instance! How to save. Her many cleaning tips were priceless. But I will always remember her kisses, sure to leave lipstick behind. I loved that about her. So loving and kind. She was a treasure.
So very sorry for your loss. We remember her infectious personality and energy. Cioci Jean was a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
