I never had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Stachowicz but felt as if I did through her daughter Giselle, a wonderful work colleague. Deepest condolences to the whole family in this irreplicable loss. May the angels lead Emily Stachowicz swiftly into Paradise, and the martyrs welcome her to the heavenly Jerusalem.
