Our Precious Mother and Grandmother, Lola Janik 3/10/44 - 6/09/09
Mama, I have the right words in my heart, but the ones in my head just don't seem enough to portray what you have meant to all of us. All that I know right now, is that you are at peace, but we miss you so much...why did you have to leave us so soon? We miss your laugh, your words of wisdom, your awesome sense of humor, your strength and vibrancy. You touched so many people, with your love and caring, throughout your life and your passing has left such a huge hole. Thank you for being such an awesome mother to Julie, Michael and me, and a wonderful grandmother to our children. I pray that I can pass on to Zack and Savannah all the things that you have taught and inspired in us. It's not fair....all your suffering and now this tremendous loss. Savannah said to me, "I only got to know Grandma for 8 years, it's not fair Mom". How can the simple words of a child cut so deep? At least Savannah had 8 years, but how come Baby Przyzycki did not get to have any time with Grandma Lola? That is SO unfair!! I had 41 years with you and that wasn't enough, by far. But, God gave you 65 years full of love, so who are we to question His plan. I know that we will be together again, someday, in Heaven, so that gives some comfort. I love you Mama.
