Marie, Betty Ann, Mark and family, I am very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful mother and grandmother mamoo. Your mother played such a wonderful roll in my like as a young girl. She and your daddy blessed all of you with love and kindness for others, and the personality that all of you have inherited. I am so sorry I did not get to visit with her a few years back (that has taught me a lesson of not putting off until later). All of you will be in my heart as I will not be able to attend. My love and prayers to all of you. My sister Gloria is in very poor health and stiill in special care.

Dear Maire, I did not know your mother but wanted to express my sorrow on learning of her death. Losing a parent is always so difficult and we never seem to be prepared for it. My prayers are for your mother and for comfort for you and your family. Linda A Aliffi

This lovely lady is my Godmother. She and my Godfather, Joe Graham, and of course my parents, Raymond and Jessie Kujawa, stood in witness of my Baptism in Jesus Christ at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Port Wentworth, GA, on September 26, 1959. Never a year has passed that I did not receive a card, a phone call, a message, etc. from Aunt Lucy. She radiated her Catholic faith by her very presence and existence, and I enjoyed sending her a card or a note as often as possible. My condolences to Betty Anne, Marie, the Marcantonios, and the entire family. I will remember her at Mass, in my daily prayers, and in song at the earliest opportunity at St. Justin Martyr Parish here in Houston. I love you Aunt Lucy and I miss you.....thank you for being my Godmother!
