It’s incredible how the emotions of a teenager are still so vivid to a 40-something…
Grandma Sepiol was amazing force: a loving embrace after a break-up (the boy’s name I can hardly remember) or a harsh criticism of an outfit that frankly, I shouldn’t have chosen to begin with. The Grandma Sepiol I remember was always warm and welcoming on Christmas Eve and served up the most amazing potato perogi throughout Lent.
Grandma Sepiol, there’s a great game of Pinochle waiting for you in Heaven…I bet you’ve already found Charlotte and Charlotte waiting for you at the table. Have a wonderful time!

Thinking of all of you today, wishing we could be with you. Our thoughts and conversations turned to the wonderful Xmas holidays we all shared and the fun of having Aunt Martha sit on Santa’s lap.Santa has lasting memories. She definitely was the bond keeping all of us together. What wonderful memories we will be able to share when we gather together again—hopefully very soon.
All Our Love to All
