First let me say how sorry I am to hear about Mrs. Bielawski's passing. I got the news this morning (03/31), and it was a jolt. I have such fond memories of her and hope that Clarence and all her family and friends are coping as best as possible. I know my mother will miss her terribly. Andree was one of the last of her childhood friends. 80+ years. (!!)
Second, I'll always remember the fun times growing up in the 70s and 80s on family trips to Rehoboth Beach. She and my mom always playing hearts and bridge and chattering non-stop (en francais) while Clarence and Frank would just nod their heads and listen to them for hours and hours. And hours. My God, those wonderful women could ramble. =)
Then Mrs. B would give me a couple bucks to run up to the boardwalk to get her an ice cream. And of course she'd treat me to one, too.
Ah, such great memories.
Finally, the best memory: she was my godmother. Her and Mr. B were there for my baptism and I always appreciated their genuine love for me, my family, and especially for each other.
I'll always remember you and your sweet, warm, gentle nature, Mrs. B.
God bless you. You're in His arms, now.
