My dearest mother in law! I wish I could tell you how much I miss you and love you. It’s just not that simple. All I can do is keep your memory alive in my heart, because that’s where you will always be. I’ll see you again one day Mom. Until then, happy trails and rest in peace. You were the best mother in law ever! Love you forever Lia
Mom you have been one of the strongest most selfless people in my life. You always had the ability to overcome any challenge or obstacle that got in our way. The sacrifices that you made with bravery and conviction will never be forgotten. I am proud to be your son. I hope that I made you proud. I miss you mom and I love you always and forever.
Within the short period of time that I knew you, you truly had a great impact on my life. From the smile on your face everytime I’d see you to the constant laughter and jokes. There was truly never a dull moment when you were around. You always knew what to say and do to make people feel comfortable and at ease. Not only did you make so many sacrifices for those in your life, but you did a great job of showing endless love and care for the ones closest to you as well. Your positive energy that you brought into every aspect of life will live on forever. In my heart you’ll always be Grandma Rogo.
Although many of us never had the pleasure of Barbara’s acquaintance, we know she was a loving and very influential person in the lives of her children and family. On behalf of the Good Samaritan EMS System staff, our thoughts are with the Kolsky family and with all who knew Barbara. May the wonderful memories you have of her bring you peace and comfort now and into the future.
