Rita, I am so sorry to read about your mom. What a full life she had. I know that you and all your family have wonderful treasured memories of your mom and Babusa.

Hi Boris I was sad to read about your mothers passing. We had talked at hockey about your mom’s life story and what a strong and caring person she was. The Markowski family was respected in
the Lockwood Park community.
She will be missed
My condolences to your family.
