Condolences
Lillian De Fazio and the Kenosha Catholic Woman's Club
We would like to extend our sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Kosecki, who was a member of our Catholic Woman's Club here in Kenosha. Normally we try to have an Honor Guard in attendance at the funeral Mass of our members. Because the obituary was printed in the paper on the same day of the service, we anticipate only a couple members will be able to attend. We will have a Mass celebrated for Mary in the near future. She will also be honored at the Lenten Luncheon to be held on March 15, 2008. Our prayers are with you and Mary as she leaves us to join with the angels in heaven.

To the Kosecki FamilyI was saddened to read about Mary's death in this mornings paper. For many years; I was a weekly customer of hers at the 'Avenue Beauty Salon'----my mom too! She was one of the sweetest, kindest, caring persons that I have known and was truly a blessing in my life and in many others, as well. May she rest now in the arms of Our Lord.May all of your good memories console you at this sad time.Sincerely, Jean Slagoski P.S. Penny; my friend Marlene Syreini used to babysit for your son, Bradley; of course that was many years ago.
