My deepest condolences to you all! Family meant everything to your mom! She was hospitable, kind, funny and added such warmth caring love to our family! She was my role model!

Dear Lisa and Family, So sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She was such a lovely woman; the perfect person to be a greeter at Church. St. Peter has gained a new assistant. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wozneak family has lost a special member. No matter where we saw her she always had a smile and meaningful greeting. We will miss her at church as she often sat right behind us and if we were separated by a few pews, she would send us some sign of love when we arrived or at the sign of peace. Yes, we all will miss her but she left us so many life lessons that her love and comfort will continue forever. She lead by example and those are things we will cherish.
Dear Greg, Joe, Lisa, and Ted,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your mom raised a beautiful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Greg, Joe, Lisa and Ted,
Whenever I visited your family home in Warren to visit Joe, I was always greeted with a warm smile and an invitation to a delicious meal. May the memories of times shared provide you comfort now and in the days ahead. We send our deepest sympathies and prayers for your loss.
