I didn't know Marysia well, but every time I saw her I got caught up in her many enthusiasms and interests. Marysia's energy and love of life was infectious. I remember helping her peel apples for her legendary applejacks and then getting a piece to eat as my reward. I remember her love of gardening and the pride she took in showing off her prize tomatoes and cucumbers. Most of all I remember how much she enjoyed celebrating the holidays by filling the outdoors with light and color. This is a picture of some of her decorations that I took in 2004 just before Easter. Colored eggs, angels, butterflies, and sunflowers all ready to greet a new beginning for the season and for Marysia.
Marie, I miss you already. Seeing you, and talking with you at the club. Always nice, always warm.I am glad to have known you. God bless you. Love, your friend, Judy Eagles # 455
