Thank you, Lenn & Kathy, for sharing the news of Auntie Dorothy's passing. She really was the heart of the Wojcik family – keeping track of all the cousins and their kids and grandkids. I loved that she sent me a Christmas card each year, written in her own beautiful penmanship. She had an outward grace and inner beauty that was unique. Now, it's up to the cousins to keep the Wojcik memories alive. Much love from Sue (Tomaszkiewicz) Thomas, living in St Petersburg FL.
I remember Dorothy and Len from my days at St. Wenceslaus with Fr. Ed Sidlecki. They were very important to parish life. My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Very Rev. Daniel A. Smilanic Episcopal Vicar and Judicial Vicar, Archdiocese of Chicago.
I will be with you all in spirit tomorrow as you celebrate Mom's life. I was so glad to have had a good time with her last fall and to have the chance to say goodbye last week. A special, strong woman!Love, Barb
Each Saturday evening mass, as she entered the pew behind us, she always touched my shoulder and shared a warm smile. Donna Jones
Dear Cousins: I will truly miss my chats with Aunt Dorothy. We laughed a lot and shared discussions of books, TV shows, religion and life in general. And, there was always family. She was so proud of every new addition and boasted of the grandchildren and great grandchildren. When I visited Broken Arrow, I was even allowed into her private club of the monthly sit-down dinner with friends. She always seemed to be in good spirits. We never did figure out why she was around for such a long time. I hope she now has the answers she was looking for and is reunited with the family and friends who passed on before her.Kathleen (Kathy) Truty
