Lorraine and All Your Sister’s and Family;
So very sorry for Your Loss. Your Mom was quite a Woman!
I remember well Her smile & laugh! I also remember how easy it was to get Her to “giggle”!! I remember helping Lorraine defrost the freezer one day and while we were waiting on it, Enis making us tuna fish sandwiches!! Some how they always tasted better! I know how hard it is to say Bye, But what a Gift Heaven has got! She will be waiting for All of You!
God be with You All and may He give You, Peace, & Comfort, Kristie Moran Oliveira
Lorraine and family, how blessed to have your Mom for 101 years. I remember her as kind, sweet and hospitaple lady. I loved that english accent.. She will be greatly missed but has left a treasure of memories with you.
Connie:
My condolences to you on the loss of your mother.
My dear Aunt Enis, we will miss you dearly. My condolences to all my cousins, she lived a full life. Between her and my Dad, the stories they told of their childhood and during the war always mesmerized me. I could listen to them all day. That is a generation of strong men and women. Hope to celebrate her life with you all.
Our Sincere Sympathy to the Family of Enis Kocisek she was able to live a full life.
She had a great family and our love goes out to each one of You at this time of
Sorrow. Martha remembers dearly the many years she had coffee with Enis and
Hilda. They had great times together. She will be dearly missed .
Just another Lawrencian and I happened upon this note to a beautiful woman/daughter/mother/grandmother/great-grandmother. Thanks for bringing such kindness to your kin, Lawrence and the world – Rest in the power that you’ve brought forth.
