So sorry to hear about my cousin Valerie, it has been a long time since we have seen each other since we moved to Arizona. I think about the good times we had growing up and seeing each other on holidays at Babci Sobolewski’s house. Just recently thought of her when talking to our cousin Karen about her mom and her crocheting. We will keep her in our prayers, God Bless Her.
