Offer Condolence for the family of Lydia “Mimi” Marie Grabowski
I’ve know Lydia since college. She, Barb and I were the south side Polish girls. Through the years we shared good and not so good times. Lydia was always there w hen you needed her. The last few years were difficult for all. Knowing I could count on her for good medical advice was a blessing—she should have been a doctor! I have many fond memories. I will miss her.
So sorry for the loss of your mother
Lydia was very bright and excelled in everything she did. She was a true nurse- compassionate and caring and always generous with her time. We were sorority sisters and remained friends throughout the years. Some of my most fun times were spent with her and our partner in crime, Chris K.
Well done, Lydia. May the angels carry you home.
Lydia,
You will never know how much I appreciate everything you have done for Joey!! He misses you and talks to you in heaven!!
You all are in my thoughts and prayers and just know she is smiling down on you right now!!
With love,
Nadine Rinella
