Offer Condolence for the family of Genevieve Romaszkiewicz, nee Lukmin
Art Mark I definitely remembered Genny and her always being a gracious lady when I visited your home or you all were attending family events. I remember when I was home from the Army and was visiting her home, how she insisted that she could serve me some cool refreshing pear juice. I also remember the lavish Christmas vigil celebration before midnight mass on Christmas Eve. It was a time of abstention from meat until midnight, but after we said prayers around the table unleavened specially crafted and designed Christmas wafers were distributed and shared. Then we enjoyed cooked shrimps and fantastic dips. Peter made sure we had “three finger”s for a the Christmas toast before we all headed to midnight mass together. Terri and I will definitely be remembering Genny and all of you in our prayers. Terri is starting cardiac rehab on Monday so we will not be coming to the funeral. You all have been and will continue to be remembered in our daily rosary. Love to all, Art & Terri and family.
Dear Lucy and family,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother. Our thoughts are with you.
Love,
Heather, Chris, and Ben Ivy
Wanda, Julie and Lucy,
What a wonderful, courageous, and “spunky” lady Genevieve was. You have so much of her life to celebrate and I hope friends and family continue to share additional memories with you also. You have a great deal of love and many prayers surrounding you. Mine included. Warm hugs to you all.
